Any kind member know of a tried and tested route from the Midlands to the Crystal Palace CC Site avoiding Ken's congestion charge please? Even the latest upgrade of TomTom doesn't show that option Evil or Very Mad

I'm ok of course from M42/M40/M25....then where? Around right hand side of London??

I`m just thinking off the top of my head that you may have to go over the QE2 bridge mate,and go that way round.I could be wrong though and someone may know different. Confused

Hi Telbel

Out of interest, when will you be at Crystal Palace. We are there this Monday and Tuesday night. Unfortunately for you I wasn't worried about the congestion charge as we are exempt. Sorry.

I only suggested it telbell because my uncle who lives in C/P comes over the QE2 when all the normal routes are busy.

I went to Crystal Palace last week from the Midlands travelled on a Sunday when lucky for me there are no congestion charges as following TomTom I ended up in Trafalger Square. Rolling Eyes
The route the Wardens on the site would give you is as follows,
M40
A40
A406 to Chiswick Roundabout
Over Kew Bridge
A205 to Mortlake
A205 Wandsworth
A205 follow signs for Crystal Palace

Let me tell you it is a nightmare journey but well worth it have a map and do not rely on SatNav.

M40, M25 towards Gatwick, then you can either take junctions 9, 8 or 7, heading towards London. Use your sat nav from there. The only part of Crystal Palace i have ever been to is Selhurst Park, not sure where the CC site is.

Try and keep to the west side of the M25. M6 and M1 take you to the East side, which means you will have to use the QE2 bridge

Hope this helps
