Sod driving to London. Get the train. 

If you do drive but don’t wanna battle through London traffic, a little tip I use when up there on business. 

Come off at J3 and go to Hounslow East Station. Parking there for only £4 a day (very cheap for London). Tube to Monument from there, then one stop to London Bridge

Hounslow West is even better as the parking is free at the weekend!

Why not car share. There was a thread on here earlier offering a lift, it was brilliant :)

My preferred option for London is to drive to Acton, use JustPark to park on a driveway near the tube station, then get the tube in from there.

It’s very easy to say “just get the train” but it’s rarely the cheaper option. Fuel from Chippenham to London is about £20ish and I can get get five in the car. The train to Paddington is £50ish each! Shocking really for a 75 minute journey. Until trains are the most cost effective option many people will choose to drive, and I don’t blame them.

Let's hope the coaches take the correct route through London  this time. The last time I went we arrived 25 mins after kick off.

Ah I remember that. Our driver introduced himself as 'Turbo, the best driver in the fleet' who then proceeded to get totally lost in South London!

Millwall fans changed the road signs that year - I went also. The whole story is on one of there ITK forums somewhere - it is a great read but at the time was a crazy day.
