Apologies if this question has been asked/answered before. I was curious as
to why, on the Northern line's city branch, the platforms at Bank and London
Bridge are "reversed". i.e., why do the running lines swap sides during this
stretch?

There was long thread on this subject some months ago.

People tried to think of all the places where this happened.

IIRC there's another one on the Central line.

The Caxton Curve. It's the shaprest curve on the entire system,
because it follows Caxton Road above it. It's part of a particularly
complex and messy track layout between White City and Shepherds Bush -
the presence of the old single-loop Wood Lane station and the old Wood
Lane depot caused lots of fun when the line was extended past White
City. You can read about it on Hywel William's excellent Undeground
site, http://www.starfury.demon.co.uk/uground/woodlane.html

I have been on the Caxton Curve, which contains the westbound Central
Line, and it is indeed quite sharp - the trains dislike it quite a lot
;-)
