I walked from Clapham to Battersea.
A good route. You might think a fairly dull rundown area (perhaps just my prejudice) but far from it. A pleasant walk along wide quiet and leafy streets. Direct, easy to navigate, and quite a joy.
Some steepish streets, 11%, but good for wheels.

A quiet and reasonably direct route between the two hubs. Most of the route is along footpaths or quiet residential streets through a leafy local authority housing estate. A pleasant route with no issues.

I walked this on an overcast Saturday afternoon, from Battersea to Clapham.

This route was a lot greener than I expected (photo #2), and I liked it better than anticipated. From Battersea, it first follows the railway fairly closely (photo #1), but there is a lot of greenery and spring flowers. Shillington Park was lovely too, and there was a lovely footpath along side some houses (photo #5), and finishing on the south side of the tunnels underneath the railways (photo #6).

Good route, mostly quiet roads and some green spaces. Recommend.

I walked this route from Clapham Junction to Battersea. It's only slightly longer than Clabat 1, but it takes in much more greenery. I was overall quite pleased with this route, and proabably prefer it to Clabat 1.
