Unless something has changed, I'd not do that unless you'll be entering London in the evening. Some of the roads are basic width and too busy for me during the day. Even blasting down the A10 would be preferable IMO.Cambridge to London, come down through Saffron Walden and Great Dunmow. Then pick up the reverse of the Dunwich Dynamo.

I can endorse this (although I only went to St Ives!) . You really must go through Woburn parkOxford to Cambridge: https://www.squarewheels.org.uk/bike/routeCamOx/
It depends why you're riding and what you want to see. Richard's Route is about 10 miles shorter and avoids most of the towns but has about a dozen climbs on it, whereas a mixed Byway/Sustrans route has three, out of Croydon, to Cranfield and to the Claydons - and the last of those isn't a big hill - but crossing Milton Keynes and Bedford can take time if you're not used to urban cycleway riding.Oxford to Cambridge: https://www.squarewheels.org.uk/bike/routeCamOx/

I've done bits of the Oxford-Cambridge route, and it's a bit of the country it's difficult to go wrong with.
