I'd join the Lee Navigation then cycle the Regents canal on my old commute. It was stunning in the mornings, massive carp would flop over in the water and flash their fish belly white. Gave me the creeps, they were huge! Gave up on it and used Vicky Park and Hackney Road instead, cyclists going too fast would piss me off. I did actually collide with a jogger, I rang the bell and went to pass her on a wide bit and my bar caught her and she went down. She was furious but she had earphones in and didn't hear my bell. I made sure she was ok and told her I had insurance but she told me to bugger off.
There's no reason to go fast along there, it's narrow and crowded, tow paths are for pootles, not fast commutes.
