Thanks for the suggestion. I did consider something like this but I basically never use the M25, and generally prefer driving through London to motorways if there's not gridlock. Driving from Islington to Kent via Tottenham seems well wrong and would be at least 50 miles shirley, but also I gather the Dartford crossing can be as snarly as any other, which is why they're having to build a new one near Gravesend.

I may just have been unlucky the last two Sundays I've done it with big problems in the Blackwall Tunnel which affects everywhere else. Only takes an hour if the traffic is clear.
