I tend to use Thameslink/FCC if coming from Canary Wharf - much easier than schlepping over to Victoria.
Not quite true (unless things have changed since I've left London). You may be right about the Clapham thing, however I do remember Thameslink (or whatever they are called now) having two different routes, one route which didn't go via London Bridge, and one which did.
