Done! Thanks once again everybody.
We ended up on the TfL route, pretty good for the most part, although the bits around the mall and buckingham palalce road were something else.
A top tip - if anyone else is doing this, research the return direction as well! Our directions took in a load of one way streets (not all shown as such on the TfL maps, as the bike route line seems to overwrite the markings). This meant doing a fair bit of the return journey running with the bike cyclocross style (with panniers) through surprised shoppers... Despite that, we still made Euston with 10 minutes to spare. And then our train was 7 minutes late getting in...
