Driving to Dulwich from Beckenham During School Term

[tyor]

We are in the process of moving to Beckenham with no immediate plans of changing the kids from their school in West Dulwich. As we begin planning for this and resumption of the new school term I was wondering if anyone in a similar situation (i.e living in Beckenham and driving kids to school in the Dulwich area) can advise on the best route to Dulwich coming from Upper Elmers End Road to avoid morning traffic.

Yes, I do this a couple of times a week from Cromwell Road! Takes me half an hour at 7am to drop kids at nursery on Turney Road. I'd cut down Cedars Rd off Croydon Road and turn right onto Clock House Road to avoid traffic at Beckenham roundabout. Then up past Homebase in Penge to crystal palace, and down College Road to gipsy hill roundabout, then down alleyn park to avoid traffic on Croxted Road. To make it even quicker you could take the toll road on college road.

It's not a bad run but looking forward to not having to do it from sept when kids start school in Beckenham. good luck!

Thanks for this Lochie.
