if it's actually going to be possible
to get on the TL train - I dare say it could be absolutely heaving.

But surely some people will be getting out at LB. Getting on an earlier
train at Peckham Rye (my plan B) would be more difficult I think.

It probably wouldn't, because it would be coming from a different
route which won't involve any diversion from LU for its regular
punters in Bromley, Catford etc, unlike getting from London Bridge to
Euston, for which I agree that the Thameslink train might be mobbed.

From Elephant & Castle, the Peckham one might start getting mobbed,
but you'd already be on.

Basically agreed - though I'd think some punters who normally head in
on trains to a London termini (London Bridge, Victoria etc) then Tube
it onwards likely divert on to Thameslink, but whilst quite poss
somewhat busier than normal (and they're fairly busy anyway) you'd be
able to get on the train at Peckham Rye (caveat - I can offer no
guarantees!).
