Try the section through Ealing and the junction with the A1, they are

Henlys Corner (the aforementioned junction with the A1) is pretty
reasonable since they completed the remodelling work...at least at the
times I usually pass through.
My experience of Henly's Corner is that during the peak periods the new
layout has not made any improvement. Exactly the same with the Palmers
Green/New Southgate scheme.
Those schemes were not for cars but for pedestrians and cycles. If your
experience is as a car user, you were never intended to see any
improvement. I'd say they have made things worse, because I used to use
the right turn from Natal Road to Bowes Road as part of a route which
avoided the entire jam, and this is no longer allowed.

With one proviso, I could not have put it better myself. The proviso:
the Palmers Green/New Southgate scheme was for the benefit of buses . . .
oh and of course, this being a TfL scheme, for the benefit of two suppliers of
traffic lights.
By the way, I too used to make that right turn out of Natal Road. I now turn
right at the bottom of Warwick Road.
