Herne Hill Route

Does anyone commute from Herne Hill to Waterloo?
Are there any routes that are safe enough to use with a small child in a bike seat or trailler?
(Sometimes that means main roads - wide bus lanes seem less risky than roads like Knatchbull Road where one is likely to meet oncoming traffic without enugh space to pass.)
My first thoughts were to cut over to Brixton Road, then go to Oval and take Kennington Road, connecting onto the NS Cycle Superhighway near the Imperial War Museum. Visibility along that stretch is good and there are few really sketchy junctions (e.g. nothing like Lambeth North Junction which is very hard to predict.)

Can you combine quietways?

I.e. Waterloo to E&C on the first link, then E&C to near Herne Hill on the 2nd.0 -
That looks pretty good. I'll give it a go.
Camberwell Grove is great right now but it won't last long. In the recent consultation 70%+ of respondents asked for the bridge to be reopened to rat run motor traffic instead of the current cycles-only arrangement.0
