Well, I am back in town, boy is it hot!

I arrived late last night (by car) so no real problem, but I have yet to
venture out. So does anyone know how its going with the overpass closure? I
have been reading around, people seem to be thinking its not too bad - I
guess everyone is on holiday so it probably is the best time to do it.

I haven't been into Hammersmith itself lately but I live less than two
miles away and have seen very little extra traffic anywhere in the
Putney, Barnes, Mortlake, Kew or Chiswick areas. In particular, the
South Circular has been quieter than I can remember it for a long time -
heat and holidays, and perhaps people avoiding the area.

What do people reckon though? I have to take someone to the airport tommorow
for a 6 oclock flight. How much time should I leave? (Going from
Hammersmith)

If that's 6am you will need very little time, especially allowing for
check-in! But I guess you mean pm - going out of town in latish
afternoon could be slow, but the real problems would be east of
Hammersmith - the traffic should be thinning out where you join the A4.
Unfortunately the jam cam on Chiswick roundabout is currently off so
someone who has been driving the route recently could advise better, but
I doubt that it would take much longer than usual.
