Used to use Southwark a lot and it wasn’t too bad for traffic. If you were going north you could also go straight into a shared use ped bit of the city (I always turned left for lower Thames street) and going south it was handy for accessing the backstreets around GSS.
Tower bridge has always been horrible, imho, and Waterloo is just crappy for traffic at both ends.

One of my fave bits of commute was doing this up to the Guildhall, Gresham St, Wood st or the next one over, round the Museum of London (RIP) up towards clerkenwell.
One of my least fave bits - the clusterfuck of cyclists crossing Southwark St heading north to get to the bridge. Invariably squeezing and surrounding whatever vehicles also waiting at the lights and doing shoaling undertakes when the lights change. Is it still like that?

Yeah Southwark is one I plan on trying. Think it might prove a bit annoying once I'm on the north side but worth a try.
