Is Vauxhall Cross an utter > nightmare? Hello DC...I commuted to just short of Victoria (Pimlico) for around 3.5 years - took me just under 20 mins (whereas bus could take over an hour on a bad day). Can be a nightmare if not used to it. Why don't you take advantage of Southwark's free assertive cycling instruction before the cuts start to bite? You can arrange for the instructor to show you the best route to work - and it really won't cost you a bean. I posted the link before, but it won't hurt to post it again. Enjoy! (Should be a doddle for someone with calves of steel!).
