Cycling to work and Burgess Park closure

[radnrach]

I was wondering if any of you other ED cyclists could help me out. I cycle from ED to Old Street for work, and try to take as many quiet routes as possible. This usually means cutting through a lot of Burgess park (I aim for Southwark bridge due to London Bridge being a bit manic). Since the park is closed for a good while for regeneration, does anyone have tips of other ways to get to Southwark Bridge? Or even if you use London Bridge, any tips for avoiding the main roads?

I would be grateful for any suggestions - at the moment I keep ending up going at least a mile out of my way for no good reason!

I cycle from Forest Hill road to The City every morning and find the old canal path behind Peckham library is fine and pretty quiet. Download the Cycle routes in Southwark and follow route 22, this allows you to miss pretty much all the traffic up until London Bridge and the dreaded City run. Good luck.

i go peckham rye to bishopsgate/liverpool st every day

i go down the surrey canal (behind the library), then onto the road when that ends, old kent road as far as tescos, down the left of tescos, left onto a road behind the royal mail sorting office, eventually coming to tower bridge road, over tower bridge, one way system as far as whitechapel road....then you could go left onto commerical st all the way to old st.
