Where from in London? It's a big place

Best route down would depend on where you're starting from TBH

hackney!

Not in your neck of the woods but IIRC there's an annual London to Brighton (push)bike ride. Couldn't you go on the route that it uses? However, just thought that might use non-road sections.

Did a google and found the cycle route here if it's any use.

In case you didn't know, on google maps when searching for directions you can tick the box that says 'avoid highways' and that'll give you a route without motorways in it

Out on the A13, down over the Dartford Bridge, come off first exit to avoid M25, head through the nice bits towards Otford, then on towards Sevenoaks, down to Ide Hill, round the Bough reservoir towards Edenbridge, then down any of the number of good roads round there to Lewes, down and along the coast

planning something similar for next weekend if the weather holds up

welwyn - brighton

this weekend

welwyn - southend

got the southend route sorted out, on l-plates still, just need to find a route down to brighton

If you're heading to Southend avoid the A127 - It's mind numbingly boring.
