Might have to be. Turning an hour journey into 1 hr 40!

I too am in Surbiton. My insider information says don't go anywhere near Surrey this weekend - it's going to be chaos.

As suggested your best bet is to go out via Hampton Court and take the M3, and you probably need to leave as early as possible. frown

We’re stuck as Mrs UTH has a school open day at her school in Ealing. So she won’t get home until 4!
Wondering if we might have to bin it off.

Turns out it only added 15-20 mins each way which isn’t terrible.

I live in Cobham and was dreading the ensuing nightmare but I’ve hardly noticed the disruption

Almost feels like for once in history people listened to the advice and avoided travelling unless they had to.
