London Sightseer Routesheet
« on: 10 December, 2009, 05:53:52 pm »
Hi,

My wife will be riding from Victoria bus station to Cycle Training UK's premises near Southwark Park this Saturday. Does someone have the routesheet for the anticlockwise (I think) version so she can follow it south of the river from Westminster round past Tower Bridge?

Cheers,
Kev.

Thanks Rob. Could you give the next few instructions please - say up to the point parallel with Southwark Park. I can then work out where she needs to drop south down to Drummond Road / Clement's Road.
