Yesterday afternoon and this morning the four? Way traffic control system around Townley and Greendale had traffic jammed in every direction for invisible roadworks. It looks like the lights give equal Priority to each road’s turn irrespective of volume coming from that direction. The queue turning left into EDG from Red Post Hill- already held up by a badly placed bus stop practically on the junction-, goes all the way back to Sunray Avenue.

There are Thames Water works opposite the junction of Honor Oak Road on London Road (where the Esso Petrol station) is located, creating huge tailbacks up to the Horniman's Museum and then back along London Road and along Lordship Lane. This may be contributing to longer waits from the South Circular onto Lordship Lane.
Thames Water closes off the South Circular (wholly or in part) every 18 months or so by the Horniman - and have done so for years - they even, once , closed it off for several weeks/ months to replace (!) the main. They are wholly and, I would argue, close to criminally inept in their works here. That the infrastructure should fail is, of course, inevitable at some stage, that it should fail every 18 months is something entirely different. TfL - whose road it is - should be fining them for obstruction.
I think the townley / edg temporary lights and resultant tailbacks are entirely separate to south circular and LL issues (I say this as we drove back from Bromley late afternoon and had a clear run until we hit the DV/ EDG queue, having chosen to avoid traffic in Townley. Seems like a minor hole in the road at the corner of EDG and Greendale is the reason for the lights, the cordoning off and temp lights seem like overkill and are causing unintended consequences, I saw a couple of motorbikes and bicycles choosing to zoom up the pavement on EDG to avoid the queue, plus one cyclist deciding to take his life into his hands and overtake the queue to the right (heading towards LL, on the wrong side of the road heading into traffic heading towards HH, no lights. Crazy,)

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
