I'm on work experience at the moment and so I've got a new cycle route. It's still lacking the wide open green space joy of my old beat past Regent's Park but the highlight comes right at the end: crossing Southwark Bridge.
Miraculously there is a capacious brand spanking new cycle path which makes the usually terrifying London bridge-cross a thing of joy.

Obviously the other great thing is the views, as you exit the narrow crevasses of the city for the sudden clear sweep of the river: the choppy brown Thames, the pebbled beaches of the riverbank, the tower blocks and cranes and the dome of St Paul's.
