If you don't want speed bumps you can use fountain drive instead. College road really is fine though.
Another good shout is the other side of anerley (Crystal Palace park road) - the one that comes up from Penge and finishes by the double roundabout at the top of college road. It's a much steadier climb than anerley, much wider, much quieter, with hardky any traffic and quite long. I often climb that instead of anerley because i hate dodging buses and all the exhaust fumes etc. I don't know why more people don't use it.
