Just wondering what the Hammersmith area was like today (particularly in
the
morning and evening rush hours).

Sounds like they picked a good time of the year to do it really.

This morning my flatmate joined the A4 at Barons Court and drove toward
the flyover about 8.30-8.45am. He was detoured with other traffic down
through Queen Caroline Street (or whatever the southern bit of
Hammersmith Broadway is called) and back on to the A4 after Hammersmith
up to the Hogarth Roundabout. Said it was very quiet and free moving,
and the same coming back this evening around 7.30pm.

My guess is everyone else was avoiding the area.

Interesting. My view is that it'll only take a handful of people to tell a
few of their friends (and for the word to be passed around) that it really
wasn't that bad at all, and before you know it, loads of people will be
jamming the area.
