A friend of mine coming from the west on the M4, hoping to get to London
City Airport by around 6pm on a Sunday evening - what's the traffic
likely to be like?

Specific points I'm thinking of a

M4 from J3 into Chiswick - is this likely to bunch up much (we're
talking around 5pm or so at a guess), with people coming back into
London from weekends away?

Victoria Embankment - worth avoiding? I've known this to be a real pain
at the most unexpected of times - would it be worth going via Lambeth
Bridge + Southwark Bridge Road (via St George's Circus) or should it be
fairly ok around this time?

The Highway/Limehouse Link/Aspen Way etc - likely to be all ok heading
out?

I would do the M40/A40 rather than the M4. The M4 leaving London is
pretty good but in the opposite direction you've got the dreaded bus
lane and it's usually pretty busy at that time. Use the M25 if
necessary to get onto the M40 then take the A40 all the way to
Marylebone followed by the A501 round the top of the city and down
onto the A13. The route through the city to get onto the A13 isn't
great but that area should be quietish on a Sunday I reckon.
