Best route in an out of London from M3

[mattrsv]

Hi All, just thought I'd tap into your collective knowledge.

I have just started commuting to Liverpool St most days and I am still not sure what the best way is. Currently best going = M3,Richmond, Hammersmith A4, Embankment and then Moorgate via Bank. I've tried other ways, but they are all slower.

I have not found a good way of getting out yet, I keep trying to get out on A4, however, this seems to be a nightmare. I would guess I'd be best to get down to Embankment again as soon as possible.

I have tried going South of the river and no improvement.

Your suggestions please......

From Hammersmith, try Fulham Palace rd - Putney -A3

Agreed, its my prefered route out when that way.

Or come back through Putney, Barnes, Mortlake onto the A316. Through Richmond then straight onto the M3. A316 is pretty reasonable once you get past Richmond.

To get to Putney could try coming through Smithfield Market down over Ludgate and onto Victoria Embankment at Blackfriars bridge. Stay North, go past Vauxhall bridge, Albert bridge etc. and onto Kings Road, all the way to Putney bridge. Over the bridge, immediate right towards Barnes.

I'd estimate 45-50 mins from Moorgate to M3, how does that compare? Interested as I do Southwark to M3 every day and faster routes would be great.

After trying a few routes it seems best way in and out is Richmond, Putney, Putney Bridge, Embankment.

I can get from Winchester to Liverpool St in 1 hr 20 to 1 hr 30 and back in about 1.30.

I am still interested in any other suggestions

Cheers,

Matt

I've just started a new job in kingston , but instead of using the M3 or A3 , I tool on past shepperton up the a308, doesn't help you much but it's lovely running along the thames in this weather
