Leaving from London

[Return to the index for Cambridge and East Anglia]

Navigating out of central London is a nightmare no matter which way you are going. I
really would suggest you hire a car from one of the suburbs, rather than in the centre of the
city itself.

Navigation Instructions

Route 1 on the map.

Since this section is all about travelling north, if you take my advice you will hire your car out of
London City Airport. From there it is real easy to get away to the north.

Leaving from London City Airport

Assuming you have collected a rental car at London City Airport follow these directions to get you
on your way north:

From the rental car offices head westwards on to Hartmann Rd,

GPS 51.5036 0.0425 Turn r. on to Connaught Rd.

At the r/bout take the 1st exit to stay on Connaught Rd.

0.2 mi At the next r/bout take the 3rd exit on to Connaught Bridge.

0.3 mi 51.5094 0.0406 Cross Connaught Bridge and at the next r/bout take the 3rd exit on to
Royal Albert Way, the A1020 s/posted “Beckton / North Circ Rd (A406) / Dartford Tunnel (M25) /
Motorways (M11) (M25)”.

0.7 mi Go str through 3 r/bouts and at the r/bout take the 2nd exit on to Royal Docks Rd. Follow
road surface signs that say “A1020” and s/post to “N Circular A1020 (A404)”

Navigation checkpoint: Over to your right immediately after that turn you will see a large
building painted in a geometric pattern in red, white and orange.

1.8 mi 51.5256,0.0723. At the r/bout take the 2nd exit on to the North Circular Road s/posted “N.
Circular A406”

4.5 mi GPS 51.5828,0.0398 Move into the left hand lanes ready to merge on to the M11. Look for
the blue and white sign on an overhead gantry s/posted “M11(N) / Cambridge / Stansted / Harlow”.

Leaving from other London suburbs.

If you are starting from London suburbs – for instance from London Heathrow Airport – the best
option is to simply make your way to the M25, the London Orbital, the great ring road that
encircles the city and follow it until you come to Junction 27, the intersection with the M11.

Coming from the west: GPS 51.6815,0.1135 From the south and east GPS 51.6771 0.1344 Exit
on to the M11 s/p “M11(N) / Cambridge / Stansted / Harlow”.
