Road Trip - Advice
26 Answers
On Friday afternoon I have to Drive from Winchester to Stansted Airport to meet a flight at 8.3o pm. I can leave Winchester any time from 3.o pm, and don't mind a wait at the other end.
I am expecting the traffic to be horrendous around London, and so want to avoid the M25 at all costs.
Two questions: firstly, am I justified, do you think, in wanting to avoid the M25? And second, can anyone suggest an alternative route that might be better. I don't mind going a bit out of the way.
I'm fairly new to the South of England (confirmed northerner), so I would appreciate some advice on which roads to avoid.

I live by junction 26 of the M25 and unless I knew there was a problem on it, I wouldn't hesitate to use it to get to Stansted. Your only problem will be if you get there too early, it might cost you a fortune to park. Though, you could park at the services on the M11 and grab a coffee.
At the time the OP reaches the M25 the traffic will be heavy, if you look at the direction on a map you will see the A34 does head North, if they make their way to the M40?? M42 you then head east onto the A14, Stansted is the right side of the M25, the heavy traffic will be coming to meet you bit on the opp side, I have never been late for a del as I planned my routes without the aid of a Sat Nav.
