Swinley. It's mostly pebbles and sand so drains pretty quickly.

Anywhere with a sand based soil ( like Swinley ) rather than a dense clay based soil that takes forever to drain ( like Epping )
Sandy soil supposedly wears your drivetrain quicker, but who knows. I'm not doing enough mileage for the odd bit of mud splattering to bother me
CX bikes and singlespeeds pretty much rule for winter mud
