Worst Road in London

everywhere is bad at the moment.

This is London, my friend.

New North Road. Mark my words, there will be a big accident there soon. The only part of the road that used to be reasonable, they resurfaced and made this crazy bus lane about the length of 3 buses. This then forces cars to go wide, only to be presented with a right turn only, whilst approaching a hump back bridge, causing the cars to swing wildly back into the left lane again. If you manage to negotiate this safely, then there are some pot holes further on that are so large they almost threw me off my bike on the way to work.

North Road (I think) going from Calendonian Rd and York Way is pretty fucking bad.

I use that daily and it's a fucker - lorries love tearing up and down it.

daily politics just did an item on pot holes. Only caught the end, but was surprised that Andrew Neil is a cyclist. He said London at the moment is like New York in the 1980s.

hows this for a stupid council, they have just started digging up a road, which has NO potholes in it whatsoever.

Not sure of the council as its on my way to work, in clapham.

Clapham council? lol

oh and heard this on the radio, councils have asked for another 150mill to help repair all the pot holes.

and potholes are usually about £75 to repair (your average jobs that only last 6 months, maybe less), and base on that there's 2 millions pot holes in London

anyone been on prince of wales road over the east side of blackheath? potholes every 3 inches. it's either greenwich or lewisham council, i think they're both ignoring the reports because it's on the border!

Hammersmith Bridge gets my vote, lumpy as the Arnneberg, narrow as a narrow thing and for some reason always covered in glass? And busses!!!!!

Avenue Road up to Swiss Cottage... I have p*nctured there 3 times in the past 2 months there. Bizzarre...

+1

i had 2 in the space of about a week there, going both ways too, same with my flatmate.

Goldhawk Rd through Shepherds Bush to Stamford Brook is the worst road I've seen in London.

Yeah this is fucking shocking at the mo.
I actually nearly fell off last night as I hit a patch of gravel and then went through a mahoosive pothole and then the road was just delaminated to fuck after that.
It seems that they're doing some really shoddy patching up on that stretch too at the mo as part of their big Thames Water stuff going on further up the road.
Will be using a different route for a while I think.
