A4 chiswick roundabout closed?

[Cheeseybeaner]

What was going on tonight between the chiswick roundabout and the a4 towards hammersmith? Traffic was backed up all over the place up the westway and everywhere else nearby.
Ambulances seemed to be rushing in from everywhere oddly enough.

[Cheeseybeaner]

Dont know what exactly happened but saw various ambulances coming in from all directions, unusual to see the place as choked up as that especially as far up as the westway.

Go through Chiswick High street and into Hammersmith via Kings Street and re-join it at the Hammesmith Flyover? or are you already home?

Traffic is usually quite crap in those areas anyway, but I assume it was due to this:

Nasty FATAC, road closed for hours for Traffic to look into it I imagine.

How sad am I? I`ve been thinking about this thread .... I really do need to get a life!


Mr Beaner! if you are on a bike and that route gets clogged up again could you not go from Shepherds Bush using the Uxbridge Road all the way out to Uxbridge... come out of Uxbridge to the roundabout that goes onto the A40/M40 and take the first exit on the roundabout and that will take you to Slough?

Having said that, why would you want go to Slough

I know Chiswick VERY well, I lived just off the Sutton Court Road for 10 years!

I lived most of my life in West London, for example Chiswick, Stamford Brook, Southall, Feltham, Hayes , Brentford.

Although I dont live there anymore and nor would I want to, I still have a soft spot for them

Me too, Acton and Hayes (Yeading) from 1980 until 96, and worked in White City, most of the time commuting by bike. Pretty crap really, but I miss it sometimes.

Did you ever go drinking in the Brook House pub? do you remember the Tally Ho pub next to RAF Northolt?

Don't remember the Brook House, but visited the Tally Ho a few times. Regular haunt was the Red Lion and Pineapple.

Mr. J: When I first moved to Acton I thought it was the poor man's Ealing, once I was settled in I realized it was the even poorer man's Shepherds Bush.

[pepperami]

Well the Tally Ho is no more as pikies and gypos settled in the car park and after a disagreement with the landlord it was smashed to bits so badly that is was never re-opened, allegedly of course!

Acton ahh what a lovely place?? NOT!

I might have a drive through the area before xmas, wife has a cousin in Hayes, and also needs to go to central London the day after I arrive.

[pepperami]

I did that a year or so back, around the Chiswick & Brentford areas and it left me a bit sad to see how some of the local scummers now treat what I once considered my home towns .



With Chelsea, QPR, Fulham, & Brentford all on your doorstep, there was always a match to go to on a Saturday .
Even if I could get a ticket now,I doubt if I could afford it.

London is just so expensive these days!

It's quite slaggy down there though dude :S

That's the problem with Ealing, some lovely streets with nice houses and decent people - all of which are surrounding by council estates and slaggy bail hostels. And you would not BELIEVE the number of dangerous 'care in the community' mental health types strolling about.

It's one of the worst places in the UK for street robberies, although I wouldn't expect rufty-tufty BCF sorts to fall for that sort of perlava
