Hey, I feel your pain. Having commuted on the CS7 for the best part of 4 years now, I am very keen to mix it up a bit.
My route from Surbiton via RP is about 3km longer than the CS7 route. It would likely be more pleasant and once you get past Westminster faff the embankment is fairly quick. I will give both a few runs and see how they stack up...

I'd be interesting in knowing what you come up with.
For years I've been doing Surbiton > Richmond Park > Putney bridge and follow the Thames to Farringdon.
Curious if you can easily link in the new greenway and or CS7. Need to mix it up a bit and find alternatives that avoid Putney bridge when the schools go back.
edit: plotted it out, saves <0.5 mile and the strava estimated ride time is basically the same. My memory of CS7 is pretty grim compared with RP + Embankment (?).
