Yeah, that would be a bad idea - hadn't thought of that. Also
something to consider if we move to Woolwich, as Greenwich foot tunnel
would be needed, I guess.

Personally I'd go something like Edgware Road,
Marleybone/Euston/Pentonville

Hmm - I've cycled along Maryleybone as far as the top of TCR but then
turned right towards Camden. Traffic was busy, but fine if I was
going as fast as or faster than the cars.

City Road to the Old St roundabout.

Never done this - worth investigation.

Shoreditch, Commercial St down to Whitechapel and then follow the A13 down
to Docklands.

Seems sane.

I've used most of these on various commutes in the past and none was
too stressful.

Might give it a trial run on a Sunday to get to know the route.

Thanks.
