I can't give exact directions (just back from pub) but from Lewisham you can take a few back streets & reach the Greenwich tunnel pretty easily to take you over to Canary Wharf. Do it on a weekend & there will be virtually no traffic around that area. From there if you want to go further you can easily get to the Hertford Union Canal / River Lea which I think is just amazing for Londoners - you can escape the city whilst being slap bang in it & see herons / ducllings & all that shit - birds love it.

Check the TFL website for route details - they are pretty good but you'll awant to dapt it. I'd advise doing the route yourself before taking your lady so she's not waiting around for you to work out where the hell you are.

I' used to do the canal route from turnpike lane to canary wharf as my daily commute & it is awesome - out of tottenham into tranquility.

Just make sure you go in front of her, slow down & ring your bell / shout like crazy as you go under the bridges.

Definitely agree with Mr Tom's earlier post for Optilabs http://www.optilabs.com/

I've got a pair with photochromatic lenses & have to say they are mint. I bought mine initially purely for cycling but now use them for loads of other things. Have found them particularly good at things like festivals too as a) The lens adjusts to the light condition so you don't have to worry when the sun goes down b) It freaks out the trippers / pillheads when the lenses change colour.

Their customer service is also excellent (I don't work for them).

Cheapest option for cleaning up chrome / removing rust spots - and it works a traet! Buy the following:

1) A can of coke
2) Some aluminium foil.

Scrunch up a strip of the foil into a ball, dip it in the coke & scrub away. This method got rid of all rust spots & brought up the chrome beautifully on a pair of fairly battered part-chromed forks.
