I have done it a few times but tend to avoid getting tube from Victoria during rush hour due to the over crowding where they hold people back at the gates coming down into the station.

Hi, As a new resident of ED (lower part of Upland road), I have found the 185 bus to be exceptionally poor. It is one of the only poor options for residents of the lower parts of Upland, Barry, Friern and Dunstan's road travelling to the West end during peak times. We take the 185 up to Vauxhall tube and onto green park. The 185 seems to average every 8-20 minutes compared to the 176 and 197 buses which average every 3-5 coming up LL from Forest hill. The 176 and 197 seem significantly less busy! It regularly takes 60-75 minutes to travel to green park, only 5 miles ! Please don't reply telling me to cycle. I don't feel safe driving in London yet alone riding a bicycle in the bus lane in the dark when raining ! Other routes to the west end are equally as shoddy (London bridge from Ed + Jubilee is spoiled by the distance to tube from train platforms, west dulwich and p13 bus are even less frequent) What are others experiences with the 185, and do they have similar thoughts ? Am I missing the full picture on the 176/197? Seems like an additional bus route from ED to Brixton is desperately needed to get us on the tube. Thanks
