@skidlidsid Larkhall is OK if you use it before 8, after that its a bit ratty, but not too bad.
The bits of R3 to watch out for imo are the 'essess' as Bolney Street turns into Dorset Road and then Meadow Road. You have the right of way if your traveling along Boleny to Meadow, but not all drivers and cyclists acknowledge/know it. The cross roads of Meadow and Fentiman a bit further up needs to be watched too, as drivers take chances jumping across it.
Having said that I much preferred using it to CS7 on my old commute.

Larkhall is a nasty rat run if I trust what I'm told at meetings.
I commute from Battersea to Bermondsey Street and I've just started using the Turret Grove -> Lansdowne Way bit of Cycle Network Route 3 as a way of avoiding Wandsworth Road, and I like it. I probably go down Larkhall a bit later than most (usually around 9.15), and I barely see another vehicle until the car park that is Lansdowne Way. There are some absolutely mental speed bumps on Turret Grove though.
I haven't found a way of completely eliminating CS7 around Oval, but I have successfully ditched Elephant & Castle now.

Anyone used London Cycle Network Route 3 as an alternative to the CS7? What's it like?
