That ended up being a lot more interesting than I was expecting. It's not that surprising (depending on his gaming experience*) that he'd be quicker than a random racing driver, as they're an incredibly small talent pool, and a lot of them are not good gamers
*if he's only been playing Gran Turismo with a pad then it was impressive.

Go sarf young man.
A13, Rotherhithe Tunnel, Abbey St, Bricklayers, Elephant, Lambeth Bridge, Pimlico (via Greycoat Place OR Vauxhall/Bessborough), Ebury Bridge, Cheltenham Terrace, across Kings Road into Elystan Place, back doubles thru South Ken (Pelham) up to Brompton Road, along to West Ken.
Avoid central Fulham, which is a nightmare at any time of day
I have been taking this route to Chelsea on a daily basis (in the car) over the last week. Am only giving it up for an attempt at the tube tomorrow, because parking tickets
Sounds longwinded, but its proved to be much less stressful.
Edit: I used to take the same route as c-dug when I worked at the Royal Brompton, but only so I could perve on his bum. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Kings Cross is normally a pretty good route, but it's currently all borked due to the roadworks at Baker Street. I just looked up what they're doing and its a project to convert Baker Street and Gloucester Place from one-way back to two-way traffic. Expect lane closures and fucktardary until May at least.

Brilliant idea!
But how do you deal with the car up and down the escalators?

It sits atop the escalator, of course.
On those rubberised handrails.
And because its a Prius, people don't even hear it and so they don't know its there ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |
