Depends where you're heading - if you just want to go through town and keep heading north I feel Camberwell-Vauxhall-Vauxhall Bridge-Park Lane-Edgware Road is a bit quicker - more double or triple lane carriageways, Tower Bridge approach can be a real mare.

Thanks. I had no idea that Vauxhall Bridge and Park Lane were outside it; thought it was extended as far as Kensington a few years back.


I'll be heading for the A10 but otherwise that would be a useful route from here.

RPC, might be worth giving this a try (I use it for the M11).


Get over to and through Rotherhithe Tunnel, round to and through Limehouse Link Tunnel,out on the A13 to A406 (NCR) and follow that to the A10, which if I remember correctly is the next junction after the M11. The route is "tidal flow" and I normally get to M11 in about 40mins, depending on how clear the traffic is to the Rotherhithe Tunnel.

It was going to be but Boris kyboshed the western extension, but even if it had come in it was planned to keep that corridor open and charge free.

Thanks.


And another thing: why does car hire have to be so complicated and intimidating? It's like dating a psychopath: they start off sounding open and attractive, and as soon as you choose them you're sucked into a sh1tstorm of bad things that might or might not happen, with the implication that unless you pay for everything they suggest they're going to get you one way or another. I saw one with an UNLIMITED excess that you have to agree to up front - goodness knows how they take that off your credit card.

I've had a few conversations about this recently with people who didn't realise that you can drive through central London CCharge free - Vauxhall Bridge/Victoria/Park Lane/Edgeware Road. Useful to know.

    • Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years back; they were after my Brompton. Luckily there were only 3 of them so I managed to get away and got a woman to call the police, then they backed off, but not after having hit me in the back of the head first. Police said next time just give them what they want, but I sure as hell wasn't just going to hand over my bike to them!
    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
