• I'm soon going to be commuting from Southfields to Great Portland Street. Any suggestions on a cyclist friendly route?

    Depends what you mean by cycle-friendly. Do you want quiet but stop-starty or open and fast but busy?

    One possibility (in skeleton form) is:
    York Rd (CS8)
    Albert Bridge
    Royal Hospital Rd
    Pimlico Rd
    Ebury St
    South Eaton Pl
    Lowndes St/Sq.
    Into Hyde Park
    Round the park and out onto Upper Brook St
    Duke St
    Wigmore St
    (+ Wimpole St. and Weymouth St. of you're heading further North)

    That's kind of a mix of the fast and balanced routes suggested by cyclestreets.net, although I disagree with their classification to some extent. CS8 is fast, but next to loads of traffic. From Albert Bridge on it's small quite road and the Park, quite pleasant really.
