But the real hassle is crossing London during a Thursday morning rush

Zipping out via the A2 is against the flow.

According to the traffic news, there is almost always congestion from
J5 (M26) to Clacket Lane and beyond in the morning until after 9 a.m.
I've noticed it when going anti-clockwise after 9 a.m. Likewise, the
congestion is anticlockwise in the evening, from J7 (M23) or J6
(Godstone A22) around to J5, while the clockwise is then free-flowing.
