With luck you'll end up with better underground and overground links.

Well I suppose we could .. (not that I use them .. I avoid public
transport wherever possible as I can't avoid the cost nor time). Given
the choice I'd rather take the motorcycle, cycle or walk! (possibly a
reaction to 10 years commuting into the City) ;-(

I occasionally have to work at Three Mills studios which isn't a million
miles from there and would love an easy way of getting there by public
transport. The south circular isn't a nice place to be in rush hour.

Nice place .. but right at the lower end of the Lea.

If we cycle along the towpath from here we can go North or South. We
have gone South only a couple of times because (as mentioned
elsewhere) it's a bit industrial (there are some good bits though).
One good reason for going South would be to cycle to London Zoo etc.
Going North is pretty well green and clean[1] as far as you (or your
family more like) would want to cycle in a day (40 mile round trip)
;-)

All the best ..
