I recently started Hither Green to Islington.. and generally prefer small annoyance of Southwark Bridge to craziness of London Bridge
Westminster Bridge any good? Parliament Square is a be meh but constitution hill after is quite nice.. used to be my old commute..

Turn right after Blackfriars, then immediate left up Blackfriars Lane, then up Old Bailey, straight across Newgate St, through Smithfield Market then up St John St to the Angel.

Like Ludgate , most of north side of the bridges are unpleasant junctions to be around. Out of all of them, I'd pick Waterloo, but that's just my opinion man!

London Bridge -> Bank -> Old Street -> City Road -> Vestry Street would be my choice. Then you can just bang on up the A1200 to Highbury and Islington.
I enjoy the big roundabouts like E&C and Old Street. If you don't, maybe not the route for you.

Maybe @andyp is on with Blackfriars but I would Derek Bailey around this.

Second day of new commute, Herne Hill to Emirates Stadium, just shy of ten miles.
Beautiful weather, wave from the Loughborough Road lollipop man, getting through the city via Southwark Bridge was slow but uneventful.
8/10 will ride again.
Any thoughts on the best way of getting from South to North for this route? Blackfriars bridge is horrible on Ludgate hill. Southwark Bridge has the annoying pedestrian bit. Not tried London or Tower yet. I am also wondering about going Vauxhall bridge, Edgeware road and then across through Camden. Crazy?
