Newbie all round
Hi all!
Just got a new job in London. I have walked for the first week from the mainline station to the office. Roughily takes half an hour to walk.
However, I believe I can halve this time walking and so bought a foldup cycle. I need to get from Liverpool Street to the OXO building.
Does anyone know of the fastest, but obviously safest route I can take?
Thanks in advance!
David

A convenient Brompton ride away from the station.
Cyclingplus is the place to go for local info. Also, the London Cycling Campaign have some good maps.
I would aim for the Millenium Bridge. There are lots of small lanes from Liv St , to the East of St Pauls, down to the bridge. Get an A-Z and try a different route each day.
