Redbridge roundabout to Hyde Park

Can't tell you too much about the rest of the route, but turn left up Redbridge Lane West, and head through to Wanstead - that will take you off the mad bit of the A12. And wave to me from the Roundabout.

The other alternative is to go down Wanstead Park Road, through Ilford and pick up Romford Road.

This was what I was thinking. By the flats, through Stratford and along Mile End road into town.
