Surprised not to see a thread here yet. See

I don't entirely go along with Jenkins' thesis and note he gave a closure
period for Albert Bridge at variance with the photo attached to his
article (presumably an editorial rather than his cock-up). However, he has
a bit of a point, doesn't he?

Couldn't have put it better myself. Apart from the South Circular being a
national joke - I expect most "strangers" look at the map and see the thick
red line round south London and think "that's all right then". In fact of
course, it is designed only for south Londoners who know the area intimately
and can handle the back streets, one way systems, endless traffic lights and
right angle bends which form part of its charm!

Actually, I consider Cannon St and Charing Cross part of south London. It's
only after I leave the station that it all looks a bit foreign!
