Default Traffic from M4 to London City Airport?

Cutting through Earls Court is also a possible route.
But I find that at 5pm you get stuck a bit in the Earls Court area and

the
queue onto the Embankment.
It also feels like a longer route. But i'm sure there's not much in

it. But
pleasant views along the river.


Aye - I must say I've rarely gone this way myself - normally opted for
cutting through Beauchamp Place and via Belgrave Square to Victoria, and
cutting through there to Lambeth Bridge - just thinking about what's
easiest for someone who doesn't know London all that well.

If you take this route you can also cut out Parliament Square by

crossing
Lambeth Bridge then continuing on the south-side until Southwark

bridge.

Yup - this was my preferred route every single time I've ever crossed
London, and it works a treat. Even in the rush hour it's possibly to
avoid the queues up to Tower Bridge by dodging around Trinity Square
etc.

Or even the Rotherhithe tunnel. As sometimes Lower Thames street get

chocka.
The south-side is a ghost town for most of the stretch. It's useful in

the
opposite direction to go south then back north.


Yup, indeed.

Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square aren't that bad most of the

time.
It was even easier before Ken blocked it all up. It moves though.

As you can see there are various routes. And there are various options

for
congestion.

Hope the advice helps.


Aye, cheers. I'll work something out!
