I'm going to be working in White City for a couple of months and am hoping to cycle there (if I can avoid the temptation of the new London Overground extension!) ?I wondered if anyone had a favoured route that they can recommend? ?I've used the usual route planners ( Tfl, Google Maps etc) but there doesn't seem to be a consensus. ?I'm more happy on busier roads, but would like to avoid Vauxhall roundabout/bridge if possible, and a bit of greenery en route is always nice!?


Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I cycle from Barry Rd to White City every day through Bellenden but I *do* go via Vauxhall Bridge. Is thee any particular reason you want to avoid that? There is a cycle pass under the arches at Vauxhall bridge to abpid the roundabout if that helps? It really isn't that bad once you get on the bridge as you can use the bus lane from there which goes into a cycle lane.
It was mainly the roundabout I was hoping to avoid - I often drive round there and always think it looks a bit hairy. Cycle pass would definitely help and as you say the bridge itself isn't too bad. Would you mind giving me a brief run down of the route after the bridge? Thanks very much!

It's roughly 9-9.5 miles for me - the route I've attached pics of takes between 40-45 minutes so if you're quicker/slower, do or don't stop at reds obviously it will take you less/more time...


Sometimes I have to vary the route a bit if there are roadworks etc, and annoyingly now that it's winter, Hyde Park is shut by the time I leave work so I can't do the same route on the way home exactly.


I'll post more detailed instructions tomorrow but you should be able to get the gist of it from the pics. If I can I'll plot a Google map. There are more direct routes I'm sure but I like my cycle through Belgravia and then the parks :)

    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
