Warwick Gardens at night
In message .com, Paul
Weaver writes Does anyone know the reason that Warwick Gardens in Kensington has a barrier over it at night, preventing traffic moving from north to south. To reduce the amount of night-time noise in a wealthy (and clearly influential) residential area. My map (2003) doesn't show that this is a restricted road. What time do the barriers get lowered? Not sure, but its around 10.30pm As there is no right-hand-turn from north-end road (even if there is no traffic coming the other way and you don't stop to make the turn), it leaves the choice of the middle of Hammersmith (watch out for the drunken revllers) or (as I and another car did on Thursday) a turn in Beaumont Avenue south of West Kensington. You went the wrong way. The alternative route (which I think is sign-posted) is turn left from Addison Road into High Street Ken, and then turn right into Earl's Court Road. It is actually hardly any longer than the usual route at that time of night. I think tomorrow night I'll continue round and drive through some residential streets in W14 if the mayor and his cronies insist on closing major thoroughfares. The barrier has been there for at least 15 years (and probably quite a bit more than that) - long before Ken & Co. -- Paul Terry |
