12 miles in London rush hour? How long?

[DarrenL]

Chaps

I may have to spend a night in North London tomorrow (nw6), i'll have the car with me (can be left in NW6 over night) but I need to be here at PH towers (TW11) on Thursday morning at 9.30.

What is the traffic like around Kensel Green, Acton and Kew in morning rush hour? Or am I better off using public transport at that time of day? I dont usually drive in these areas of London, but I can suspect it will be hell...

Thanks for the help!

You might need this

Unless you know the roads stick to something simple like the North/South Circular, leave by 8 am and put something mellow on the stereo

Puggit, Johhny I was afraid you would say something like that!!!!

To be honest leaving at 8 am aint too bad, I was thinking of leaving even earlier!

I am guessing 70min.

Please update us on the correct answer on Thursday.

Average speed of 5.8mph?

If running there perhaps!

everytime i travel accross london at rush hour times my sat nav asks if im walking and want to change map.

70 mins sounds normal, maybe 90.

^^ Has been known to take an hour to get across Kew/Chiswick bridges in the morning. When I used to live there it was quicker to run to work....
