Fictional: If Streatham and Bromley had a direct bus link
The last 'large-scale' route I've done was an Elephant to Stratford link which happened under the guise of 388, and is cut once again. I numbered it 433. Now, with no number, I stumbled upon the Streatham to Bromley link.
Most of my comments are on the picture itself so here's the real postscript: I forgot to add in the A205 has a right-turn ban at West Dulwich, though can be modified to allow this.
Upon looking at the map; at Tulse Hill right above Lancaster Avenue, the route could go left onto Leigham Vale which links with Leigham Court Road.

Fictional: Acrossrail
Inspired by Crossrail cutting straight through the city.
The need for orbital rail around London, preferably further out than the current Overground.
Imperatively an effective orbital rail that extends out to the edges of London, if not just outside London.
Inspired by Southern's West London Line, which is unfortunately hourly, and paths on the line already in use so can't be upgraded in frequency as of 2023.
Inspired by a potential diversion of some Southeastern trains [from Dartford?] to Clapham Junction.
Fun fact: then Mayor Boris Johnson was close to having the South West Trains metro services under London Overground but was rejected by Epsom's MP - Chris Grayling - the then Transport Secretary.
