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.
