Help with travel planning in London

[Al 10000]

I have just booked tickets to go to London on the 25th of January,my first London visit for a few years.

I am travelling by National Express coach arriving at Victoria at 10.50am,i intend doing all pubs in East Dulwich east of the rail lines,plus a few near Peckham Rye station.

I know London quite well but wanted to know the quickest way to get to Peckham Rye station from Victoria coach station,i dont mind changing trains or usuing buses,i have looked at trian options but they only seem to run every 30 mins from Victoria.

Clapham Junction seems a better option,but some of you Londeners may know a bus or other trains that will get me there quicker.

Thanks Alan

Alan,
I would say that the quickest route is to take the train from Victoria to Peckham Rye,the journey time is only around 12 minutes but the service is,as you say,half hourly.Time for a quick one in the 'spoons at Victoria Station ? Believe it or not it's in the 2014 GBG

Ive already done that Spoons,plus most pubs in the Victoria area,as you probably know i dont like revisiting pubs that i have alrady done when travelling,this is what is causing my problem being dropped off at Victoria coach station,not sure if i can get a travel card and the train in 20 minutes from the coach station.

Thanks for that BF

Aslo thanks rpadam,i will take a look at that site and see what comes from it.

If you just miss the BR train at Victoria then it might be worth getting any train to Clapham Junction and getting the Overground to Peckham Rye. It's a bit of a trek across the bridge but at least you will be making progress. The Victoria Station Spoons is the most expensive one in London!

The TFL Journey planner doesn't always give you the best info but works most of the time.

Unlucky that the Victoria service is only 2 an hour on the Saturday (4 per hour weekdays), but I doubt you can beat that 12min journey, even with a small wait.
There are 4 per hour from Clapham, but then you still need to wait for your connection and still 15mins from there to PR, so I'd bite the bullet and see how you get on at Victoria - if you do arrive 10:50 at the coach station, the 11:09 should be about perfect.
Other route is from London Bridge but, again, change of tube etc to get there make that impracticable...

Well the 36 or 436 will take you from Victoria to Peckham, you won't wait more than five minutes or so before one or the other shows up, though you'll be on for half an hour with a following wind.

If you stick to buses the most you will pay all day on Oyster is £4.40, ie three and a bit rides.

Best thing is to use the Transport for London journey planner; a quick version is available from the front page of the TfL website, or the fuller version here:

NB - You can use various search options: station or bus stop name, postcode, address, etc.
