We need to talk about Wisley
National Highways are spending a third of a billion pounds rebuilding one of the most congested junctions on the M25. Is it money well spent?

Some of Central London's quieter streets are still, surprisingly, lit by old and rather beautiful gas lanterns. Here are a few, by day and by night.

HOWEVER this need proper link roads on the south side to connect to the A2, the Ringway 2 plan to go through Oxleas Woods was unacceptable, but the later plan to dump traffic in Plumstead/Thamesmead was also unacceptable, which has rather killed the whole idea. A shame, when the connection to the A406 on the other side would be so easy...
