Central London can be a pain in the arse even at the weekend.

Well, yes but the best way to see a lot of the sights is on a scooter. icon_camera-s.gif And there is a certain sort of satisfaction ( = smugness!) from carving your way though the snarled up traffic. riding.gif Central London is where scooters work best, IMO.




Or maybe I'm just used to it. icon_scratch.gif icon_dunno.gif

you be careful :D
I would always go anticlockwise on M25 from the M3 to M11, no tolls and apart from M4 section the traffic is much better.
I would go that way too, but isn't that clockwise?
Yes, just like my left hand is on the right! DOH!
