I come up from Kennington Park Road but I have taken to going Dante Road -> Brook Drive -> Elliot's Row. The light at the end of Elliot's Row is usually quite short and allows me to hop onto the bike path and then back into E&C to cut over to Borough High Street.
Its definitely longer than going straight through E&C but I can actually ride at pace, avoid the peds and at worst I end up back in with the same group as when I turned onto Dante. Often they are still sitting at the light to cross over St. George's when I ride past though.

Same, and E&C is not bad at all so long as you pay attention and take your time. The cycle route has a shit surface and has many suicidal/distracted peds so I usually take the road. However, saying that, the wait at the lights at the end of Walworth Road means you can see what traffic you are about to hit that has come from Kennington so if there are a load of HGVs and the like, then I will resort to the cycle path.
