The Charing X Branch trains normally terminate at Kennington, while ones on the Bank Branch go on to Morden. Why did you choose the other way round?

On the previous day I’d made it all the way from East Finchley to Kennington. I decided that I’d prefer to do the Charing Cross section from Camden Town first rather than restarting from Kennington. It was just a personal preference on the day of which of the two starting points I would go from.
