After last night's CC drinkies in Southwark, I leapt onto my bike heading back to London Bridge Station. Starting from Blackfriar's Road, I went down Nicholoson Street then right into Dolmen Street. I noticed I was on a signed route, Q14, with London Bridge as a possible destination. Excellent, this would make things easy. It took me along Union Street, which became much narrower as it crossed Great Guildford Street, with a bolt down bollard at the Southwark Bridge Road end. This didn't deter the driver of the Romanian registered car in front of me, who just popped onto the pavement and away, but I guess it was meant to be a cycle permeability thing. Anyway, I lost the signs there, as I went straight across onto the pedestrian space by the Island Cafe then back onto Union Street. At Borough High Street I went left and then into London Bridge station.
It turns out this was a Quietway, a TFL thing, see linky, which shows Q14 as proposed once it crosses Southwark Bridge Road, but that page dates from October 2017. Anyone know anymore? Where should I have gone once I hit Borough High Street? The map says Newcomen Street, but Streetview currently shows that as one way. Where should I have gone to get to London Bridge from Newcomen Street?
