Route Plan Roll<\/a> is the creation of Dermot Hanney – his concept is to marry a map of safe London road cycle routes, with proper infrastructure, with the “tube map” which famously simplifies the London Underground network into straight lines and connection points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve featured his maps before, but now Route Plan Roll has taken the concept one step further and linked the network to “places worth cycling across London for<\/a>” which is surely a nod the the Michelin guide’s definition of a three-star restaurant as “worth a special journey”. Sadly there are not many of the latter in London – and they are still closed anyway due to the pandemic – but Dermot has spotted plenty of places worth hopping on your saddle for, navigating the network of safe routes, and arriving at your destination in style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mapping London is a fan of both tube maps and cycling so this was always going to feature. We think it’s a great map – a little too much green perhaps (used for parks as well as the very best quality of the cycleways) but the “network” is clear to see – along with obvious gaps in it, often due to political reasons in west London and some other areas. The Thames is on there, of course. It’s just as much a challenge to cycle across as walk across. The approximate boundary of the sadly stagnated Santander Cycles zone is shown with a red dotted line. The map doesn’t show off-road cycling routes such as along towpaths or through paths – this is very much focused on getting people out on the streets to visit businesses, as lockdown eases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
