I live in west malling and currently work in central london, which
makes for a nice hour long commute on the train. I've just been
offered a job in Sidcup, but don't know much about the area/traffic
etc, and am basically looking for advice on the commute - what you'd
recommend & what things are like on a day to day basis. I'd be aiming
to leave kent 7-7:30 and leave work about 5ish.

As I see it my options would be

a) Drive
b) Train to Swanley; bus to Sidcup
c) Train to St Mary Cray, bus to Sidcup

Or possibly:

d) Drive to somewhere on the line that goes to Dartford (somewhere like
Snodland?), and get a direct train from there to Sidcup.
