Default Farringdon to be London's busiest station

Yeah, Charing Cross hasn't got a very efficient approach, due to the
structure of the bridge. Platform 4 in particular is a single track
all the way across.

The other limiting factor for Charing Cross is the double track section from
London Bridge to Metropolitan Junction, where there are trains (only a few
in the peaks) to and from Thameslink. Up and Down Thameslink trains cannot
run in parallel at Metropolitan Junction because of the single lead layout
