One of the main reasons I started using Lambeth Bridge is because the road surface on Bridge Street, outside Westminster Station, is totally and utterly sh*t. You're in the middle lane surrounded by taxis and coaches all wanting to turn left onto Victoria Embankment and bumping around all over the place. Not nice. I do a little back roads route from Hyde Park Corner via Vincent Square and Marsham Street and pop out onto Horseferry Road and away. Not far but the road surface is generally much more pleasant.
In the morning I cycle the other way from home and get on an empty Piccadilly Line train at LHR, then get off at South Kensington and ride along the South of Hyde Park, out and round the roundabout (takes too long going throught the two sets of cyclist lights on Wellington Arch).
