Scully Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Anyone from in or around London recommend any good places to drive? I very rarely drive to work in Hornsey and seeing as it's Sunday I thought I'd take a drive around, probably further central, when I finish in the evening. I'm in London quite a lot but have never driven further south than Hornsey. Any location, tunnel, road suggestions welcome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) North Circular... Nice roads abound Enfield, Crews Hill, Broxbourne out that way. or Docklands is empty at the weekends around Limehouse some good roads.

Just seen you want to go South..then A13 out on the M11 to Essex or M25 into Kent. Central London forget it, unless you want to go posing down the Kings Road with the Ferrari and Lambo boys...

glrnet Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I think it will depend upon what time Scully means by "later this evening" Will 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Cheers! Just to save confusion, when I say I haven't been further south than Hornsey I mean within the M25 haha. Kent is nice county have driven through it a few times, plan to see some different places within the Orbital so I'll try Enfield etc and see where I end up. I wouldn't mind kings road, just to see the super cars of course! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I think it will depend upon what time Scully means by "later this evening" Will The only problem with anywhere central is speed cameras and unfortunately most work. Docklands seems a safe bet for an evening "drive". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even around Potters Bar there are some nice roads once you get off the A1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Decided to head into Central, well that was a bad idea! Traffic through shoreditch was hell! But once through I decided to keep the trip short and just did something I have always wanted to do... Not very exciting but drove over tower bridge then London bridge 3 times (took a wrong turn). Was pretty cool then heading west on upper themes street I came across the tunnel and there was no traffic at all! Like a dream haha Epic sounding tunnel! Then just headed back home past St Pancras Kings Cross, onto the A1 past some HUGE houses, north circular for about 1km then staying on the A1 to take me to the M1. All in all a nice 2 hour detour seeing the city from a side i have not seen before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhackyWill Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Windsor apparently has really nice roads. Only because the Queen lives there, otherwise they would have the same amount of potholes as the rest of us..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
