I cycle daily from ED to Canary Wharf via the foot tunnel.
Route goes ED, Ladywell, Brockley, Deptford, Greenwich. Very few major roads, mostly side streets.
I strongly advise against going via Tower Bridge - it's a very unpleasant route to IoD and CS2 is an absolute nightmare in the morning.
If you're heading in/out early and there aren't many people walking in the tunnel, no one really objects to people scootering their bikes, but as always mindfulness and respect for other tunnel users is crucial.
Lifts are fine, but you'll have to deal with a couple of days a month where they're out of service. Victorian architecture innit.
Feel free to PM me if you want to see my route.
