• From the roundabout on the Lower Richmond Road up to the junction for the embankment is horrendous at the moment. The temp traffic lights through the bottom of new kings road are probably not helping but Hammersmith bridge being closed has a huge knock on effect. Really caught me out a few times recently.

    In other news a Domino's Pizza moped very nearly took me out on Priory lane last night after he rode up along side me then tried to turn into Clarence lane without looking or indicating.

  • Which way you coming from? If you're coming over Barnes Bridge, they've just resurfaced the semi private "St Marys Road". It used to be the most pot holed street I knew (I think to discourage people using it as a shortcut) but even the millionaires that live there had clearly had enough.

    Anyway, cut down there and then wiggle through the back streets of Putney to pop out next to the Half Moon, thereby skipping the worst of the traffic and lights. Much nicer than battling down the LRR.

  • I’m coming from surbiton, through RP and over the col de Marc bolan into Putney normally. I did wonder about going straight over from the end of priory lane towards Barnes but the level crossing there can be a time thief

    And all the better for it!

    Maybe that’s why they all drive land rovers / jeeps or whatever.
