Best driving roads from London to Bristol

[easytiger123]

Hi guys. Bit of advice please. Picking up a new toy on Thursday and have to drive down to Bristol on Friday. Rather than the M4 drudge I was wondering if there were any recommendations for a more interesting drive featuring a nice mix of A and B roads as well as a little motorway action too. Was thinking of M40 to get well clear of London and then cutting down towards Bristol. II won't be in a massive hurry so don't mind it being further and longer than the M4 straight shot. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks!

Thank you. Looks like a great option. Any ideas if i head up the M40 and then look to cut down towards Bristol as an alternative?

Brilliant. Thank you to you both guys. Much appreciated. Will def go M4 out of London instead of M40 and try and drive as much as recommended.

Thanks guys...especially Lodelaner for some epic advice. I really appreciate it. Think I'm going to do your drive on the way down and then mix and match everyone else's tips for the return drive on Sunday morning when the traffic should be much lighter. Once again thanks to all you guys.
