I tried those variations a bit too. In my recollection one of the reasons I didn't was that, at rush hour, Albert bridge (and the back routes through Chelsea) tended to be more backed up than Chelsea bridge. Although I agree that getting from silverthorne to Chelsea bridge road when the roads are busy is pretty painful.

I would update that route slightly to make a nice approach to Battersea Park.
When you get to the bottom of Silverthorne Rd and turn onto the main Queenstown Road, you can take a left into Ravenet St and then under the railway line on a cycle cut through. Follow your nose to enter Battersea Park half way along its South edge and then go Clockwise round the big path to lead you to Albert Bridge.
This way you avoid all the horrible roundabout and backed up traffic crap at the North end of Queenstown Rd.
Then wiggle through Chelsea (YMMV) to Hyde Park.
