Piccadilly is a decent place if you can get reasonably high up on the North side. You can then take tube Green Park to Waterloo and walk up to Waterloo bridge, though you will be waiting 30+mins for riders to catch up with you. Once the ride has passed, you can get a bus up Aldwych to Holborn, then walk to Lincoln's Inn Fields. They usually do a lap or two there. Both of these places have great visibility, and the riders are much more relaxed because these parts are quieter.

I've never tried, but I guess you can get Piccadilly line back from Holborn to Piccadilly Circus for the Mall.

I've found that if you try to do more locations you risk mistiming it and wondering if you will be waiting ages or have missed the ride.
I start at Westminster Bridge, then on to the rest stop nearby before walking ahead to Waterloo Bridge, from there it is brisk walk to Lincoln Inn Fields before getting the tube to Wellington Arch for the Finnish.
