Topic: Roehampton high street contraflow

Related to this,  I used the new (ish) Roehampton high street contraflow with my family the other day.  It's not great,  a car width wide due to the parking, so no where to escape if a car cones up the hill. Not suitable for children in my view. Also Danbury avenue is quite busy and narrow.

It is tricky going west from Putney for the less confident.  The path through Queen Mary's hospital is good,  but closing at 5 can catch us out! But then Clarence lane is busy, narrow and steep. Highcliffe drive is steep and narrow. 
The South circular is bad for kids. Particularly the Roehampton lane junction.
Paths past Barnes station - not sure if cycling is allowed?
Barn Elms and the towpath are family friendly in the north.
Wimbledon common round to Stag Lodge is lovely, but quite a long way round.

I guess the challenge is the lack of east-west routes generally, the railway limiting north-south navigation,  and the Roehampton club being a large chunk of land to navigate round.

Does the Alton Estate regeneration have plans for cycle routes through to Richmond Park?
