M25 traffic question

You'll need to get up at 3am.

 

^^^ this, M25 has to be done to get to my head office in Rochester Kent......double what they tell you - or go at silly o'clock and get a few hours kip in the car when you get closer....

 

Having been stuck on the M25 for up to 6 hours before I would say - if it's important leave a good 1-2hrs earlier than the sat nav says to.

Sometimes you can be lucky - but I hate racing against time and if you get stuck there is nothing you can do other than watch the clock tick by.

If you get to where you are going early you can relax and have a tea or a stroll.

 

I have to travel to London two or three times a week - can you take the train?

If not - half term is your friend - but most people travel down the night before and stay in a hotel.

The M25 and M1 south of Luton are hugely unpredictable.

 

If in doubt travel down the night before and stay over in a cheap hotel nearby.

This way you can still have a drink the night before and have a lie in.

 

I would suggest traveling in the bus would be the best thing. M25 and Kingston rush hour are a nightmare. With the bus you'd at least have a comfy lounge and hot drinks facility to aid the arduous task of London life.
