I'm considering riding from Paris to London via Dunkirk this October (flying in from the US). I see a lot of posts about London to Paris, but the reverse route barely gets a mention (at least in the searches I've done). I'm interested in hearing if there is a good reason not to ride in that direction. From what I understand, the prevailing winds are SW, so would Paris to London be the preferred direction?

Thanks

I rode essentially from Paris to London. I didn't follow a direct route because there were some sights I wanted to see. I took the ferry from Dieppe to Newhaven (a bit east of Brighton). I suspect that French cyclists are more likely to have gone from Paris->London, and British cyclist from London->Paris. I don't think it makes any substantial difference where you start from.
