Which Way

[winger]

Got the short straw tommorow,got to go to SE24,what are the options?? i'm comeing down the M40,M4 and in,or is it worth going round and coming up from the south on the A23??

Chris, I have to get to croydon quite often cos its where my driver wallah lives.
I go as follows and its usually better than right round the M25:

leave M25 at J13
follow A308 past Kempton Park and then Hampton Court Palace
right onto A309 hampton Court Way
then A3 for 1 junction.
right onto A240 Kingston rd
onto A24 going south, (Ewell Bypass) for 1 junction
then left onto A232 Cheam Rd (becomes Croydon Rd)
crosses A23 at Purley way.

sounds complicated but it works ok.
stop at Paul or Steve W for a cuppa on the way past.

Don't do the A23. Lots of traffic lights and very slow. Police are also having a blitz around Coulsden currently. For saafety ourposes only of course. A23 is a hopeless commuter route.

M4 is fine and will take you smoothly straight into London on a bike.
