Central London - roads icy or ok?

Cubic

Hi,

I'm not going to do my usual RP or Surrey training ride this weekend due to the ice and was thinking of heading into Central London instead as I thought the roads might be a bit better there.

Do you think the roads are free of ice enough to do this safely or is the centre of town still a bit treacherous?

Thanks.

It's not too bad. A few comments on experiences are mixed in at the latter end of this thread:

Also, more in the Sill Commuting Racing thread

Absolutely fine; see the Richmond Park thread.

Thanks, I'll think I'll give it a go tomorrow!

Although I've pootled into the city before on a lazy lazy sunday and the road surfaces are worse than the surrey lanes.
