I need to be in Barnes @ 10am tommorrow morning, will be travelling in from Essex. Whats the traffic like that time in the morning? I'm planning to head through Rotherhithe tunnel, Bermondsey, Lambeth, Chelsea Embankment then cross again @ Hammersmith Bridge Road.... Is there a better route? I'm expecting to need 1.5hours minimum!

You might also want to consider from the Embankment travelling down New Kings Road then hang a right once you cross Putney Bridge onto Lower Richmond Road / Mill Hill Road - will take you to the junction with Rocks Lane.

Traffic may be better than heading for Hammersmith Bridge. Infact if I wanted to use Hammersmith Bridge I would probably go down Knightsbridge / Cromwell Road.
