Clapham Common Question

Tonight I cycled home for the first time from my new job (started Monday). The route I tried tonight went past Clapham Common. I came down from Cedars Road (travelling south from Chelsea Bridge) and found that there was a cycle path allowing me to cross the common. This path seems to extend across to Windmill Drive, at which point there is another path. Is that path also a cycle lane? If not, is it still used en masse by cyclists, or should I be going along Windmill Drive to continue my route?

    The updated TFL map shows a cycle lane going from Cedars Road all the way to Windmill drive. It stops there. If you turned left and went along Windmill Drive for a bit, then turned right, there is another short cycle lane crossing the rest of the common, that goes onto Clapham Common South Side. They are the only two official cycle lanes it shows on CC.

    the almost straght ahead route across Windmill drive is not a cycle route, but IS used en masse by cyclists. I've used it every day for a couple of years. Watch for dogs (as for the rest of the common) & give pedestians a wide berth (normal courtesy) & everyone is happy.

    I thought that this was going to be about Badgers
