Anything inside the M25 can ■■■■ right off. Don’t care what it’s called.
I personally treat London as a whole series of small towns and villages linked by roads,I find it dead easy to get around like that, I don’t choose to go there but it doesn’t really bother me overmuch when I get sent maybe twice three times a week.
Give me a night out route up north any day over a day run to London !
I’ll only go to London if I know there’s a place I can drive straight in off the road and be behind some form of security.
In my first week of driving a truck I went to London - some nutter tried to pull me out of my cab.
I went last year to the cenotaph remembrance parade - I got kettled. Who the Fuzzy-duck kettles veterans and children?!
Oh yeah Londoners. I’m not in a hurry to go there again.

Great I’d do all the full loads into/out of the areas of Surrey and Kent inside the M25 and you can do all the West Midlands multi drop and collections.
Especially in the summer when I’m parked up enjoying my break somewhere like here etc.
I’m based in the Midlands and don’t mind multi dropping. Deal

I like London but I find in order to have a more pleasent experience its best to adopt a more submissive driving style, im talking articulated 44t vehicles here not glorified vans.London is no more than a multiple hazard environment best navigated by just tickling her along and being aware of the nutters around you. Cyclists are a law unto themselves and are best left to get on with it, then theres the motorcyclists and pedestrians, oh and cars etc.
Any major city (and some minor ones), can be just as bad, so sit back relax and enjoy the views (I mean the fanny obviously).
Dont be the idiot standing roadside exchanging details.
And those ■■■■ buses,man they can intrude on yer groove
I am parked in North London now as I have to be at a certain place early in the morning.
My company wont pay for parking so I only stopped in South Mimms to go to the bog, Even if I was allowed to park there, it was full and was noisier than the layby I have ended up in with all the fridges running.
As I write this there is several faggots pacing up and down the layby trying to attract the attention of the other faggots in the cars and vans that keep pulling in .
This can be added to all the other reasons this ■■■■■■■■ should be avoided along with cyclists , buses , nutters in cars that cant drive, local tipper drivers and the lack of white English speaking natives.
After visiting London it makes me feel very lucky to be living in Northumberland.
