How to cycle from London's old City Hall (Southwark) to the new City Hall (Royal Docks, Newham)

A suggested cycle route from the old City Hall at The Queen's Walk, Southwark, to the new City Hall (formerly The Crystal) at Victoria Docks, London. While largely on protected cycleways, this route does involve mixing with heavy traffic when crossing Tower Bridge, on Poplar High Street (CS3) and there is are dangerous areas at Tidal Basin Roundabout and by the Royal Docks near the Crystal. Please be careful.

I can't imagine that it will get any easier to cross the roundabout at Dock Rd, with Silvertown Tunnel emptying out onto it in future. There really needs to be a complete rethink of the roads layout in that area, it should have all been buried.
