🚲 The best way to cycle from Westminster to Hackney without traffic

You can cycle from Westminster in central London to Hackney in north east London entirely on quiet streets and protected cycle lanes.

The route is 9.2km long (5.7 miles) and makes use of Cycleway 3, Cycleway 1 and part of Cycleway 27 through the London Fields LTN.

You can find Hackney's Hoxton East Liveable Neighbourhood consultation mentioned the video here. The scheme should be supported overall, but needs more filters to prevent rat-running through the area, particularly onto Cycleway 1 on Pitfield Street:
