Is it always that bad?

Was travelling from the West End (Wardour Street) to Clacton-on-sea this

London's Lost Roman Road

London's Lost Roman Road

However, it has been suggested before (so "you read it first hear" seems
a bit implausible).

Very interesting, and you may have stumbled across some interesting

Facts like this don't seem to matter to the person called "Huge" (?),

Congestion charge cheat

It has to do with everyone who lives in Greater London: if the CC
makes more money less comes from the rest of us and vice versa.

Yeah, right. Wanna buy a bridge?

But you don't have to shell out several thousand for a car, money for

actually you wouldn't want to stay on the A10 until Seven Sisters.

You would either take the A1055 until Tottenham Hale then join the
A503 there.
