London may soon have two "superhighways" that would carve out long, uninterrupted routes for cyclists and make a substantial improvement. The first, running south to north, would go from Elephant & Castle, across Blackfriars Bridge, and wind all the way up at King's Cross. The second would go east-west, from Tower Hill to Acton. Staying north of the Thames, it would run through the financial district ("The City"), follow the river along the Embankment, then skirt around Westminster, saying 'hello' to Big Ben and Buckingham Palace on the way. It would then continue through Hyde Park and go further west than most tourists realize London goes.
