Steepest hills in SE London are those roads around the Horniman - there's the short one up to Sydenham (with Kirkdale on the other side), and there's the residential streets to the E of the Horniman, Honor Oak Road, and then go left.
I go home via Greenwich and use Maze Hill as a short lung-buster. Vanbrugh Hill is shorter and steeper.
Pepys Road and Jerningham Road in SE14 are both effective ways to tire the legs.
The slopes up to Crystal Palace are quite fun. The main roads are too busy to be very safe, but I use to do 6 1/2 minute reps on College Road (turning at the roundabout). Do a few of those and your legs know about it!
