Old St., ride into town up until - Tottenham Court Rd. - turn right onto TCR - turn left almost at the top into - Howland St. - ride right to end (it merges into New Cavendish St.) - right at the end it becomes - Marylebone High St - turn right onto it - (fourth or fifth) left onto - Paddington St - take any right of first few onto - Marylebone Road (hideous, but we've skipped most and with my route you're hardly on it) - turn left to join it - after half a mile you're faced with staying on up the slope when it becomes the Westway and too frantic for words, or leaving at the exit on the left into - Bishop's Bridge Rd - ride along until it merges into - Westbourne Grove - once it turns chi-chi towards the end, Portobello Rd will bisect it. Once there, call me and buy me a pint.
I take this route often. It'll take about 35 minutes.
