Off topic southeast question but I'm moving to Brockley and wondering if anyone could recommend a 'forum approved' commute to the west end route?
Depends on your priorities in terms of speed/distance/traffic.
I am round the corner from Brockley in Forest Hill and alternate between:
Fast:
Brockely Rise>Brockley Road>Shardeloes Road>New Cross Road>Old Kent Road>New Kent Road>Elephant and Castle>Blackfriars Road>Blackfriars Bridge>Farringdon

A205>Dulwich Park>College Road>Burbage Road>Stradella Road>Half Moon Lane>Dulwich Road>Brixton Water Lane>Effra Road>Brixton Road>Kennington Road>Baylis Road>Waterloo Road>Waterloo Bridge>Wellington Street>Bow Street>Endell Street>Betterten Street>Drury Lane>Museum Street>Bloomsbury Way>Blah
The slow route is about 5 minutes slower than the fast route, but would probably be quicker for you to get to the West End.
