Enfield to Teddington - quickest route?
Discussion
Wondered if I could tap into the PH knowledge reserves. 
Having spent 2 hours on the train this morning I'm wondering if ther's a quicker way to get across London...
I'm going from Enfield (the Potters Bar side if that makes any difference) to Teddington. I'm not hugely familiar with central London and/or the North Circular, so the route would have to be idiot-proof and reliable in the rush hour.
...Back to the train?

The easiest route does involve the A406 North Circular down to Hanger Lane junction, before heading down through Ealing before you reach Kew Bridge. Go over that and bear left towards Richmond (past Kew Gardens) you'll get to the A316 Chertsey Road at Richmond Circus Roundabout, then head straight onto that until you get to the Hospital Bridge Roundabout, take the 1st exit and carry on going and you'll find yourself in Teddington.
Rush hour proof...I don't think so.

You can say that again!Btw, does your 200sx have black alloys with red lips by any chance?
I'm based in Richmond and have a blue s14a with gold wheels and a polished dish.

I'm often around the Richmond area as I live in Isleworth myself.
I need to be there and parked by 9:30.
To be honest I'm [begrudgingly] happy with the train unless the car is likely to be much quicker. I don't particularly like spending 2 hours in a carriage, but if it's those 2 hours reading or getting on with some work against 1:45 tearing my hair out and swearing at the other commuters I'll stick to the trains.
Google reckoned you could do it in 57 minutes. There again, it reckoned it would take me 16 minutes to cover two junctions of the M25 at the weekend (fair enough...) and the gridlock took it to an hour and a half!

Good luck with that Commute.
I would say that the best route would have to be a406 and in over kew bridge. Only reason I say this is the traffic on the 316 at present with the sodding average speed cameras.
I live in Kingston, so if you ever see a Grey CSL, flag me down.
Another grey CSL in the area eh? My mate has one and he lives in Isleworth and lurks, just like me...I would say that the best route would have to be a406 and in over kew bridge. Only reason I say this is the traffic on the 316 at present with the sodding average speed cameras.
