Route advice - banstead to camberwell

alansd1980

New job means my route has to change.

Tried going via Sutton-mitcham-streatham-Brixton-cold harbour lane.
The traffic is a nightmare and it's taking almost as long as going into Russell square.

Can anyone suggest a better way?

Thanks

I doubt you will improve on that route as far Brixton. I take a similar route, but carry on into the City. Time counts for a lot on the route, I leave early doors (6ish) in order to get a clear(er) run. The evening is a pootle as it's always busy
