New job means I'm commuting between Chancery Lane and Peckham Rye. Been doing pretty much the 63 bus route (cutting through Surrey Canal path at the Peckham end) - do any of you commute between the two and would you care to share your route?

In the warmer months I usually avoid most of the canal path promuter antics by going up Sumner Road

To hijack this thread slightly, my GF is thinking about taking up cycling to work. She is based on Theobald's Road and needs to find a safe route south west to head toward Trafalgar Square and then along Millbank.

Any suggestions? Most of the roads around there seem really busy for a new cyclist (think High Holborn) or one way.

My commute brings me past Nunhead station and I usually head down Hollydale and past St Thomas the Apostle College, over Queens Rd and up Asylum Rd to the OKR. At Bricklayers Arms take the old Dover Road, over Borough and then across Southwark Bridge. Left and then right up New Change, Newgate and Holborn Viaduct. But I vary my route to suit traffic and mood.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
