Hi all,

Posted this in the London forum, but there doesn't seem to be much action in there.

I have to go to Earlsfield for the day this Wednesday for work and will be travelling up from southampton, leaving around 6.30am.

Would i be advised to use the A3 due to the M3 roadworks, or will that be just as busy?

Thanks!

Thanks George,

I don't know the area at all to be honest!

I have to get to Burntwood Lane, and so far, Google is bringing me in from the South on Alexandra Road past Wimbledon Station, and then eventually on to Garratt Lane.

However, I assume its going to be a bit slow around that area due to station etc.

Thanks again everyone, especially George

I forgot how busy the roads are these days, as it took nearly three hours to get there and not far off the same on the way back.!

However, I was ignoring the satnav on the way back as it was wanting to drag me down the A31, but I just plodded down the A3 to the A/M27.

I would have taken the train however I had a van load of stuff I needed to take.

I had to make. Second visit so I decided to go on a Saturday.

Left at 7am and the route in was a breeze, however, I left around 1pm and the traffic getting out of earls field was horrendous!

Anyway, thanks again all and hopefully I won't need to be going back there for a while, if at all.

hehe
