Blackwall Tunnel going North - when best to avoid?

[Greenwich Ross]

Afternoon all,

Just a quick one. I need to use this filthy pipe next Friday morning. Is it better to hit it early doors or post-rush hour? If so, how early/late would you suggest?

Pistonheads - (avoiding) traffic matters.

Swim, its quicker

Its broken by 0630, in my experience. Used to be OK 1030 - 1100 ish, but no guarantees.

Friday on average is marginally the quietest of the morning rush hours.

School holidays too, which works in your favour.

0630-0930 is still likely to very busy, though.

Cheers! Looks like I'll be sleeping in then

In my experience the rush hour starts around 5am and continues until 2am. Roadworks are a factor on Sunday, Tuesday, Friday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and occaionally Monday.
