Can anybody suggest a via zone 1 journey, which would not involve
gates?

You can transfer between NR/OG and the Underground at a number of points
without going through gates, and Farringdon is a rare case where that
can happen inside zone 1. A lot of other lines pass through zone 1 so
any journey through the zone and out the other side is a possibility.

Farringdon (for Thameslink), Moorgate and Old Street (for Great
Northern) are the only three examples I can think of now in z1.

Although the Waterloo & City at Waterloo has no barriers can you get to any
other platforms there without passing through barriers now?

Yes, you can do the mid-platform exits at Waterloo to the transverse
corridor, from which the Waterloo & City doesn't have barriers, nor are
there any between W&C at Bank and the DLR. Or even at most DLR exits.
