hello all, does anyone know the easiest way to get from the M1 into central London, I believe there is a tube/railway station at the end of the M1 (jct 4?) any help? Many many thanks
I believe the closest Tube to the M1 Jct. 4 is Stanmore, on the Jubilee Line. Check out London's network here:

'Close' to the M1 is a relative term, but if you can find adequate parking, the Jubilee Line will take you straight through central London- the website above can plan your journey and will also show you ticket costs too.
If you do need a plan for driving to the Tube station, I recommend: http://www.theaa.com/route-planner/index.jsp
You used to able to park in the side streets round Stanmore tube, but alas you can't any longer, so best bet is to use the station car park. Its a pay and display and is covered by CCTV, so quite safe. Flat rate of �3.20 Mon-Fri and �1 at weekends. To get to Stanmore tube, come off the M1 Southbound (there is no Northbound exit) and follow the slip road onto the dual carriageway. This becomes single c'way. After about a mile you come to a roundabout. Turn right towards Stanmore. Straight over the next r'about and the entrance to the car park is about 400 yds on your left immediately before the station. M1 - car park less tahn 5 minutes. BTW. this is always what I do when going to London now.
