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.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
