 Vauxhall bridge and roads in London - wotspur
So today I was in NW6 and had to get to Wimbledon .

Fairly easy journey ,Normally about an hour . I , left at 1.30 got down via Hyde Park and Victoria station , and then it all went to pot . Took 45 mins to Vauxhall bridge from Victoria to find it has been shut off ,no details on why or for how long . Had to turn Right took another hour To Battersea bridge .
Driving through Tooting all these poles along the side of a newly designed road , some badly installed they prevented people To turn left out of roads , without coming on to our side .
At Totting Bec the A24 was chocca, and having had friends who lived around there , I knew loads of back roads , every one now blocked , so all vehicles Have to stay on a main road , so when there’s a crash ,and an ambulance has to get to St George’s , cars have no where to move over too . Buses can’t get into the pick up points because of these poles .
Is his all khans stupid plan to make London car Free ,.
3.5 hrs later I arrived in Wimbledon .
Drivers beware

Hammersmith Bridge is closed to ALL traffic.

This may/will take some time.
