Yeah I'd have a similar length cycle from Brook Green to Vauxhall- Hammersmith Broadway and Vauxhall Bridge roundabout are just two of the total death traps for cyclists along the way.Fortunately I can work from home with no issues. You can tell from my username I live in Purley. To get to work I walk to the station, get the overland train to Victoria or London Bridge and then its a bus or a tube to Covent Garden/Leicester Sq.
If my employer told me I had to be in the office there is no other option other than public transport. I do have a car, but parking is scarce and would cost £40-£50 per day. I do have a pushbike, but its a 12 mile round trip on busy (or maybe not so busy now?) roads. Only takes a lorry to do an unexpected left turn and you are a streak of jam on the road. Not going to be an option for me.
I'd imagine millions of other people are in the same boat, so what do they think would happen?
I can only imagine its a calculated action, surely nobody could be that stupid that they thought everyone would magically find new ways to get into work whilst still social distancing?
Even if I did, the office has four showers for c200 people, which would create its own issues.
I don't have a car right now either and not sure people not living realise how nigh on impossible it is to park in central London anyway. Not as in hard to find a space, more as in no parking is tolerated anywhere to force people into public transport or cabs.
