Watch for cars turning across you when going down the hill. A fair few have been taken out by those coming up the hill and turning off the main road across cyclists into Dumbarton Rd, they either misjudge cyclists speed as it's a hill or they just don't give a fuck and pull across anyway.
The long slog up Brixton Hill on the way home might be annoying sometimes and bus drivers will routinely dick you about on the hill as the bus garage is just a couple of stops more and they start to switch off. I come back more often via Cavendish Rd then Telford Avenue, if you are more into Streatham then the other one that goes around the edge of the common more and up by the station would be easier.
