Looking at a new job in Victoria (London) and wanting to commute by cycle. I am near Stansted airport so probably to far on a daily basis. However was thinking of the following

• Drive to Chingford
• Take cycle route 1 to the Canary Warf area
• Take either main roads direct to Victoria or go south of the river and take route 5 and then cross back over river.

Any thoughts ? or anyone use a similar route ? if so how safe is route 1 if I am cycling home after dark ?

Thanks for any help

    From Chingford it's easy to jump onto the River Lea (or rather the tow path next to it) which will get you, traffic free, to somewhere like Mile End/Victoria Park - you can then just pick your route heading west.
