Avoid CS7 like plague. I used to use the London Cycle Networks from Blackfriar's Bridge to Clapham North which would make a fine route to Brixton prison, coming in from behind (as it were). I tried to make a map with google maps for you but it's too shit these days and won't let me make enough amendments. It's also basically impossible to find a simple online map of the route. Here is a complicated map of the route: http://london.cyclestreets.net/
Route 3, basically. Then hop off Route 3 at Union Road in Stockwell, and do this shuffle here:

Wholeheartedly recommend.

My gf is going to be relocating to Brixton prison (working there obvs) in a couple of months, we live in Dalston (Kingsland road near Nandos)..
So hive mind what are the best routes trying to avoid some clusterfuck junctions?
