I ride to Richmond park every Sunday and have always been using the A205 & the whole of Priory Lane -- might try some of these residential streets tomorrow so I don't have as many cars passing me unsafely

Hi. You mentioned there was a link to cycle maps / routes maintained by Isaac. Please could you share details. Thanks

Just discovered you so helpful love your video's. I live streatham hill near train station and would like to cycle quiet roads to albert bridge where I work. Would you recommend cycle to brixton snd pick up quiet roads to battersea as in your video Loughborough to battersea thx

Thank you for posting this video. Also interesting to see the season difference along the route: clearly shot in the Summer. I use large sections of the route at least twice a week, and the section between Greenwich and Woolwich is also my running playground, though I take it slowly these days. The section which is closed off at night by a gate about three hundred metres west of the Barrier contains a story of its own industrial history related to nineteenth and twentieth century science and technology.

Great videos. For a nervous rider. Do you have Rayners Lane to King’s Cross?

Could you let me know what camera you use and where you mount it, please? It looks too low to be on your helmet-likely it's on your jacket?

Nice route! I might use the first part to connect to the Wandle path and reach Wimbledon Park. Not a straight line but quieter than going through Earlsfield.

A great route! Thank you for creating this video. Its amazing how close CJ and Fulham are by bicycle, especially compared to bus which takes a loooong time. Great to learn about the Wilberforce Estate and also the upgrades to Wandsworth Bridge too. Hopefully it makes the crossing more hospitable for everyone 🙏🚴

The housing estate at the start of the route has some nice artwork as part of the walls on the ground floor of the flats.

Quick flashes of the William Mitchell murals along Thomas Baines Road at 1m:35s and the 1950’s John Piper Building murals at 4m:51s

Oduševljen sam! Ako možete, snimite još sličnih priča - prava uživancija gledati!

Given that cyclists need to make end to end journeys and want the shortest route and that we - as a society - need to get cyclists away from cars as much as possible to lower the number of accidents and healthcare issue, I think that the Mayor of London should have the power to step in and impose cycle solutions, if the local borough is not implementing a solution themselves. What we need is a cross London plan to connect every area in London with every other area in London, with the local councils having an input into the plan and being the delivery agents. The budget for doing this sort of thing should be handed out from Central Government, via the Mayor of London's office. If the local councils get on with it, the Mayor should leave them to it. But if there is a dispute between two councils or if one council is obstructive, the Mayor should be able to step in. Air quality, for local people, is important, and local councils and the Mayor of London should really be publishing reports telling people how low air quality is, in various districts in London. We need to have targets to lower air quality and cycling is an easy way to do that. So if a council is obstructive to cycle routes and the pollution for residents is high, that should be broadcast on the local radio stations, exactly the same as we would broadcast weather warnings for dangerous winds. Councils retaining control of cycle lanes should be dependent on them having an active plan to get below dangerous levels of pollution ASAP and to permanently remove unnecessary car journeys through residental streets. I'm actually someone who thinks that we need to go all in cycle routes across London, both to make things better for people, but also because we will save money on the NHS and there will be less potholes on residential streets if they are no longer used as rat runs. Our "big boy roads" can be built to withstand more punishment and the Mayor of London can deal with the "big boy" road maintenance, while the local councils should be able to improve the walkability in the small roads and come up with street schemes that last decades. But, as this sort of thing has to work for left-leaning and right-leaning authorities, I actually do not have a problem with the scheme that Fulham set up. One of the arguments I hear against modal filters is that they block district nurses and people visiting elderly relatives. And the Fulham solution - while not going as far as I'd go, if I was in charge - totally invalidates that argument. I therefore think that what Fulham has done is a good "do minimum" solution. And if drivers argue that Fulham "just put in cameras to make money" that's Fulham Council's problem to deal with. However, like I said before, I do think there should be forward momentum on cycle support. So if Fulham does not have continuous work on adding to the scheme, the Mayor should be able to give them notice "Do something new by this date or I will apply to take over." The congestion charge and ULEZ use the same sort of cameras as the cameras that Fulham are using. So if Fulham can't be bothered to put in a third or forth zone and the Mayor of London puts in his own cameras (with local people not getting tickets) I'd be very happy for those fines to go to the Mayor of London's office and for all the earnings to be ringfenced to be used sorting out local cycle schemes for London boroughs that are not doing enough. (And once London is 100 percent cycle friendly, the cameras could be given back to the local authorities. Local authorities that change should also be able to apply to be "taken out of special measures" if they present a workable plan to the London Assembly.) I think the temporary things like wands and modal filters that are boxes dropped into roads, are great, as it helps give positive feedback to concerned NIMBYs and because some of the routes you show look like they expect cyclists to remember some wiggly manouvers that nobody would expect an HGV driver to have in the back of their head before they drove their vehicle. Cycle routes should be assessed and there should be feedback, and adjustments so that cyclists don't get lost and miss the places where they need to join or exit a pavement. Care should also be taken to make sure any transitions between a cycle track and a pavement or a pavement and road are not liable to throw a kid off of a bike with small wheels. And we maybe should not be encouraging kids to "appear" on a street between two sets of cycle hire bikes without the road having traffic calming measures to make cars decelerate coming up to that gap in the cycles.

Thanks Jon - do any of your routes cover the little leg from Clapham North to Grant Rd at the start of this one. I know its mostly across the common but I found it traffic-y and wondered if there was a quiet way

would love to see Forest Hill Greenwich Park!

Excellent route! Thanks for sharing!

@5:43 on the left is the back entrance to the fancy Hurlingham Club ... and they've got a sign up telling people not leave hire bikes by the entrance!

@1:50 i cycle this journey about once a month - and I never knew about the route through the estate! will definitely try it next time :)

🤙🏽🤟🏽👌🏽

46 minutes by Thames Clipper ?!?😂

Great video of a lovely looking ride! 👍

Another great route in the sunshine. Love these routes through London.

Grest route, and a very witty video! Where else can you go for safe cycling routes and satirical comments on the ubiquitous Beavertown Brewery beers!! 😉😁

Quick correction... As shown in one of their old documentary videos here on KZbin, So Solid Crew used to live on the Badrick Court Estate, Between York Road and Gwynne Road, and coincidentally, where I spent a lot of my Childhood years, at my Aunt's Maisonette at 102 Badrick Court :D

Great vid'! 👍🙂 And a belated Merry Christmas 🎄 Roll on spring/summer! 😁

Another great nostalgia trip! I used to have a flat in Wandsworth and my trips to Fulham tended to be by bus and very slow. And it was sad to see that the site of (presumably long gone anyway) PC World and obligatory furniture warehouse store on the north end of Wandsworth Bridge is becoming flats. A lot of time was spent in there buying bits and bobs when I couldn’t be bothered going up to Tottenham Court Road. I’m guessing that Wandsworth Bridge Road is not very cycling friendly which is a shame because the tree-lined road and occasional shops and restaurants would be a lovely ride up to the Kings Road (which is also probably a cycling nightmare).

Wouldn't have thought the two areas would've been so close to one another!

Love this channel. Such a relaxing (and informative) few minutes. I don't live in London, but love watching the routes and hearing about the buildings and history.

@londoncycleroutes how can I send you an image of the most insane laughable bit of infrastructure currently being built in Silvertown?

This helps as I'll need that route soon

Hey. I'm one of those who cycles to cricket matches at the Oval. As you know cycling links are excellent. There is cycle parking within the ground but it is limited, so I only use it for domestic county championship matches. However Surrey is pretty good at sustainability, and that includes travel advice to spectators, which it states is "to promote sustainable forms of transport".

Brilliant to see some positive changes to the city for the coming year!

This might be the quickest but the best, in my opinion, is to head to Tower Bridge past Fenchurch Street heading to St Katherines Dock then through the ornamental canal past Tobacco Dock through Wapping along the Thames to LimeHouse then up the Limehouse Cut and River Lea canal to Three Mills then Stratford High Street. A much more scenic journey away from traffic and not too busy.

Looks like a lovely route. Never been to the UK, but I'm sure if I visit London I'll try cycling there.

As always a great video! There is now finally a better way to cross Brixton Hill. Lambeth recently installed a Tucan crossing just a bit south of where you were going. Basically it connects Arodene Road to St Saviour's Road, so it's a small detour, but I think it's worth it.

"Alright, let's get going!" is definitely your catchphrase! As a rail enthusiast as well as a cyclist I do like you pointing out the railway stations and what railway lines the bridges are under.

Getting my new bike today. Got me excited to put her through her paces, even in the miserable grey cold

thank you for your videos, is there any way to get from Clapton to Kennington on quiet roads?

Ancient vid but this is exactly what I need to get to Clapham for the London Brighton BHF in June (although obviously in the opposite direction and going around Bishop's Park due to night closure). Thanks!

In reference to your comment at 7:35, here is a brief description. More details can be found by searching for the artist Peter Peri.. . Commissioned by the LCC, the sculptures together with the bricks around them are all Listed (Following, Footballers, Mother) but the rest of the buildings are not. The listings explain that in the 1930s Peri "pioneered the use of concrete as a medium for expressive sculptures and came to specialise in architectural reliefs in coloured concrete, developing ‘Pericrete’, a mixture of concrete with polyester resin and metallic powders." and that the "concrete {is} laid over an expanded metal mesh". Ornamental Passions has more to say about the technique.

Could you do Streatham to Farringdon please?

Great video shot in summer / autumn. Makes me want to get out on my bike on this cold damp day. Thanks.

Not only a nice cycle ride, but a reminder of what blue skies and sunshine looks like on a grey, cold, murky January Sunday. Thank you!

Never thought of this route, but really nice to have the option. And yeah, the basketball is a fantastic night out!

Come back warmer weather! Layering up for winter cycling is no fun, hahaha 😅

Beginning of Larkhall lane ,tricky(narrow) and busy in the evening.Thanks for the upload.

Just curious, what bike are you riding?

Perfect timing on a cold day like today. Glorious ride!

You went right by my place! 😊

I must do C5 as a reason to go this way. Is there any news on the planned extension of C5 across Clapham Common to NIghtingale Walk as this would get people off the main road and C7, which is a much poorer "early Boris" cycle route.

This is excellent. Will be looking to do this as part of my commute when it’s nearer spring (will likely drive to Richmond and cycle the rest of the way). Is the route reversible? Slightly lazy question but would rather get a view from an expert 😁
