Riding back home, I like crossing Lincolns Inn Fields, down the big swoop of Fleet Street and up to St Pauls cathedral, down Cannon St, over the bridge, left into Tooley St and then follow your nose all the way to Deptford/Greenwich, where you'd cut right and head into Lewisham probably. Jamaica Rd/Evelyn way has bus lanes but hardly any buses. As opposed to OKR which has about 487 bus routes you have to share the bus lanes with.
Going in, maybe not so good. Traffic gets tight in the run-up to London Bridge.
One option for when the foot tunnel isn't fucked is go to Cutty Sark, dive through the foot tunnel to Island Gardens, up the Isle of Dogs to Limehouse DLR, behind the station and then there's a little jink behind a church takes you neatly to Limehouse Basin which leads you along Spirit Quay right to the north side of Tower Bridge without ever touching a road. It's beautiful along there - best bit of commute I have ever done.
If you're interested, drop into SE beers sometime and I'll show you.
