Anyone have any good routes to cycle from Kings Cross station to Canary Wharf (Bank St)

Looking on the usual locations for routes, but they all send you down the obvious main roads and I don't fancy spending the whole time dicing with traffic - any other nicer routes people would suggest?

Regent's Canal sounds like the answer... you can apparently ride all the way from Kings Cross to Limehouse. I haven't done it myself though.

My office if on the canal and although you can cycle you'll find yourself always slowing for walkers, dogs, other bikes etc.

Still, there are worse ways to traverse London.

Thanks for all the info, I'll give it a go today. It sounds better than the City Road / Commercial Road combination most route finders give you

Main concern is finding the access on the other side of the islington tunnel smile
