Quickest route Isle of Dogs to Hammersmith

Hi Guys

Needs to get to Hammersmith from E14.

Only ridden in to Central London twice on the bike (as normally going “sarf” of the river).

What do you think the quickest route will be.

Got to be in Hammersmith at 6pm.

What time would I need to leave. n.b. my filtering is crap so I only do it when there are big gaps and the traffic is going extremely slowly !!!

Thanks for any help.

I can of course by Docklands and Tube.

Sorry, it’s not a real answer to your question, but I would really recommend a Sat Nav of some kind.

When I first started riding, I really enjoyed the feeling of ‘no last bus’ freedom that it gave me, but quickly found I was often sticking to bus routes and often getting lost.
Since starting to use the TomTom I have, that sense of freedom has returned as I know I can go anywhere and I will be lead home.
Sure, they might not be correct 100% of the time, nor lead you along your preferred route, but I can at least rely on it. When following people to Blackheath last Friday, I got left behind (of course!), sut wasn’t stressed, as I was able to get there and back easily.

Or just Google Map it -

East to West, Embankment’s best.

I know the central Ldn>>>H’smith part of that journey. It’s always busy, whichever way you go. The way suggested above is as good as any (Embankment is good and wide - so you’re fine filtering there. I haven’t been down Ful Pal Rd for ages).

The simplest way is to go to Central London and then follow the A4 signs (Picadilly>Harrods>V&A Museum>Hammersmith). It’s easy, and there isn’t any significant navigating to do, but it will be busy at that time of night.

Otherwise, you can go Embankment>Earls Court>A4>H’smith, which, again, involves next to no navigating.

If it helps, Borough to Chiswick R’bout would take me about 30 mins at that time of day

When Top Gear tried it in the opposite direction the Speedboat was beaten by a bicycle.
