The District Line would not be one's route of choice if travelling
between those stations.

How would you travel between those points, then?

Transport Direct says the quickest (by as much as 10 minutes) is
change at Monument/Bank for the W&C[1], then National Rail from
Waterloo.

[1] No, not the "Water and Closet" Line!

Fair enough. I'm used to comparison with journeys to East Putney/Putney.
The via SWT fares are higher. I expect that is not so in the case of
Wimbledon.

It is the case.

Stay on the Tube and you pay the TfL rate fare. Use the Tube and NR
and you pay the more expensive 'through fare' (unless the NR line in
question is subject to the TfL rate, but in this case it's not [1]).

Fares can be checked using the fare finder he

[1] This map shows which rate is charged on NR lines in London - red
is the NR rate, green is the TfL rate:

But if you use Oyster there is only one gateline at Wimbledon. What do you
get charged if you touch in at Waterloo or Vauxhall or not?
