• Vauxhall Gyratory is one to avoid.

    Seconded. I go via Herne Hill and cross at Westminster Bridge but TBH getting north through the West End is a PITA. Used to have to get to UCL near KX and there's no easy way of doing it.

    Waterloo Bridge is OK but AVOID Kingsway like the plague. Might have to find your own little rat run like I used to have, involving millions of tiny back streets.
