East London cycling route help

How best to get from Silvertown Way in Canning Town to Canary Wharf? Any handy cyclepaths I should know about?

Mol, why you is even bother with forum? :|

Trust in the Elf, for he knoweth things….

If north end of Silvertown way just follow the blue lane!

Mol knoweth not if Elf is online or sleeping or drinking or something, so Mol asketh the forum knowing that ifeth Elf iseth online then he will respondeth, but if not someone else willeth.

It’s the Holiday Inn Express up there.. they promised me I could put my bike in a conference room, thereby solving my issues :) Ace if there is a blue lane – north to the A13 roundabout then?

Yes, north to a13 roundabout then turn left on blue lane

Excellent. Thank you Boris (or whoever came up with the idea).

There’s a handy cycle path what takes you all the way into CW. About a mile and a half journey.

Let me know exactly where you’re staying, and I can work out the beast route for you.

Holiday Inn Express – here

A nice cycleway/backstreet/river pootle would be preferred.

PS I will bring my camera if I have room :)

Ok so:

I would go south down to the A1020 roundabout, then head onto the Lower Lea Crossing but just before you join the road there is a cycle path at this point:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?daddr=51.508178,0.013062&hl=en&ll=51.508268,0.013899&spn=0.00189,0.003439&sll=51.508218,0.013229&sspn=0.00181,0.003439&vpsrc=6&mra=mift&mrsp=1&sz=18&t=h&z=18

Then head West along the path, which runs parallel to the road, across the bridge. The path ends on a little slip road, cross it and follow the path on the other side, still heading West.

Then what you want to do, once reaching the next roundabout, is go left onto Blackwall Way (or the cycle path takes you onot Aspen way then onot Blackwall ay further up), which is a quiet little access road, follow that onto Baffin Way, across the lights right then left left onto Trafalgar Way which leads you up to CW.

Very straightforward, mainly away from traffic, and will take you about 10 mins. :-)

Ta. I’ll call you if I get lost!

I should also refer to the previous thread about getting from Paddington.
