Route advice needed! Barnet - St James Park

rubertoe

So i gone and got my self a new Job - down at St James Park (right opposite the tube station).

So i am after some advice for the quickest ( i don't care about scenery - i just need to get to work) route from High Barnet down to St James Park - I still plan to go direct to Archway, which is my normal daily commute via the great north road (A1000) but when i get to archway i am lost!

I was thinking - i wanna avoid Holloway road (death trap) and head towards Camden via Junction road - but this is the limit of my knowledge!

I have a week of from current job next week so plan on doing a Trial - so any advice on the route is greatly appreciated.

http://www.transportdirect.info gives a number of routes, the quickest being 12.2 miles on the A1000, B519 through East FInchley, picking up the A400 Kentish Town, Camden, Gower Street, Shaftesbury Ave, Charing X Road, Whitehall, Parliament Sq.

yer gran

Camden Rd, Camden St, Pratt St, Delancey St, Albany St, Gt Portland St, Gt Castle St, Regent St, Haymarket, Pall Mall, Waterloo Pl, (steps), Horse Guards Rd, Storey's Gt, Tothill St.
I'm figureing this on which roads are usually clearest for riders, ie Gower St is a mess all day and should always be avoided.
Ps, I'm a courier, trust me.

Was just going to say M25, A1 come off at Gateshead and you're just about there. The I realised this St James Park is in London :oops: :oops: :oops: .

In that case get a tube as there is snow forecast before 2015 :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :evil: Heh, heh, heh.

I ride down Holloway Road daily, not much worse then other roads. No ideal about getting to St James, you could go down Liverpool Road halfway down Holloway road.
