Commuting from Central London to Surbiton

Hi All,

I've done this route a couple of times now but I'm keen to know if there's a way of avoiding cycling down the side of the A3 to get from Putney to Kingston?

There is a route through Richmond Park but as I'm new to the area I'm not sure of the rules around cycling in there after nightfall?

Thanks

Richmond Park, closes to cars etc, but as long as they aren't culling the deer, you can still take a bike though, plenty do at rush hour you can see a stream of bikes heading back home.

Thanks for that. I might give it a go.

I'm doing this daily. There are two ways through the park, you have the flatter, car free, middle or you can go over Dark Hill/Broomefield. As said, you can use the park 24/7 except during the cull which is 8pm - 7:30am currently.
