Best driving roads within the M25

[mr_oversteer]

Are there any roads that are a sweet drive within the M25. I'm going mad with all these gatsos and traffic jams.

within the M25? That's a tall order.

The road from Barnet to the M25/A1 junction is pretty good, but there's only a mile or so of it.

The roads around The Grove are pretty good and just inside the M25.

Bit of an odd one, but:

Near Warlingham

Burntwood Lane, Wandsworth Common-Wimbledon dog track - amusing traffic calming

B556 near South Mimms

Plus the airport roads at Heathrow and City, so long as they're quiet.

Along that road I've passed quite a few people who've had accidents with themselves.

the A23 from the M25 to purley is good for a blat when it's not busy...as is the A3. in fact, the A3 before it gets to be a 50 zone (watch the scamera!) is fantastic! I once erm (cough) heard of a person who managed to eke 133mph out of his company beemer late at night around that area...

...apparently there is some video footage...

Nice bit of road - trouble is it's quite narrow in places with crumbly edges with some tight corners...

I like to come back that way if I've been around and about in 7oaks/ide hill area - shame it ends up in a really tedious 30 limit into Croydon

WRT A23 - I can't stand it! cameras everywhere, road is a mess in Coulsdon too, mostly 30 limit as well now, I think you'd be a mug to race down there even on the d/c bits. When heading from Purley to the M25 now I always go across to the A217 recommended by Towman a while back. Much quicker unless it's the dead of night.

A13 from M25 into London four lanes across Rainaham Marshes,

no cameras (till dagenham)I know someone who got 145 mph on this stretch on a clear Saturday morning.

Nice bit of NSL just inside the M25 off the A10 around Crews Hill (near Enfield)
