What is the fastest and.or the cheapest way to get from one end of London to the other?

I have a quite a lot of luggage (2 Suitcases & 1 Hand luggage) and need to take them from North London to the South of London.

Answers:
I don't envy you that journey!

Fastest - if money no object - helicopter!!

Cheapest - walk!

Tube - with cases and hand luggage - NIGHTMARE!

Taxi - if you can afford it - but get an AGREED price beforehand.

Or get a mate with a car to help you?
A bus!
bus
Bicylce, if you're brave enough.
walk
Definitely the tube - and 1 extra person to carry luggage
Go in a straight line. Always the quickest.
THE UNERGROUND
metro they go pretty fast and their pretty cheap.
The underground.
Fastest is motorbike, depending on suitcase size of course, cheapest is to walk, but wouldn't recommend it.

Taxis take advantage of the bus lanes, but it would be expensive.

Travel in the early hours when traffic is light and by car would be most practical.
Cheapest walk fastest Tube (or my fave teleport)
teleport with your xmen powers
Definitely the tube.
You could try a car-jacking. This way, you dont have to follow any laws, and people will gennerally move out of your way when you approach any intersections. Good Luck m-man!
Blimey! The metro, acourse.
One question, why would you want to go to south london?
I was going to say the underground, but No its a lot of Hassle and the staff dont help you with luggae. Best get a private taxi firm to take you from North London to the South by getting you on the M1/M25 junction if you are near the Finchley/Hamstead area, using the North Circular road and going around that way. It beats all of the traffic you would meet if you try to cross London by any other route, going through St Johns Wood on the A40 will be a nightmare! because of all the traffic. If you are going to Heathrow, definitely go by Motorway M4 which exits at Heathrow anyway. You can get to it from the North Circular road.
the bus
its gotta be a bus,or if you have got money for a cab haggle for a price first.
top up your oyster and get on the tube!

easy as that
it depends where from either end. North and South London are huge areas! From which areas?! The tube may be the fastest but more difficult with lots of luggage. The bus easier but slower! Again it depends which parts of London.. Let me know and I'll give you a clearer answer.
The question is too vague.

Do you want the quickest way or can you afford some time?
Do you want the cheapest way or can you afford a little more?

You don't say from where in north London to where in south London.

Some people have advised bus - that may or may not be appropriate.
Others have suggested the tube - the tube is not very extensive south of the river - look at the map there is only the Northern line and the short spur of the Victoria line to Brixton. Having said that the Jubilee is south of the river from Waterloo onwards. Also the DLR goes down to Lewisham and the East London Line goes to New Cross and New Cross Gate. You have overground services via Clapham Junction that go to Wandsworth, Putney, Richmond, Kingston, Wimbledon, Raynes Park and so on.

In fact I think that too vague is a vast understatement

Try the Transport for London Website for their journey planner.
walk
Cheapest: run
Fastest: fly...LOL
tube and um tube but your luggage may not arrive with you- good luck with that.
Yes, John B's right .. You need to specify the area and street at each end of your journey to get a reliable answer.
I think the bus myself!
Buy a Oyster card. That way, you can go on the tube or the bus, and it costs much less than a usual one day travelcard. Even a single journey costs less than usual! Cant go wrong!
