After last years wash out we are going to try again to do our run to the ace cafe, we should see the sights of London before getting some quality food at the ace cafe
Good fun day behind the wheel of your machine. All road laws to be complied with at all times, except maybe in the tunnels
We will be starting at 10am from Thurrock Services just off the M25/A13 junction and then stopping off at Beckton Retail Park just off the A13/A406 junction for those coming from the North/Midlands this maybe easier
Is there a list yet ????????
Can't see a date?
I am in if the date is ok
According to the forum calender 2 September Dave ;-)up
Cheers Hudge, just thought it should be in the thread, could have done it myself but a pain switching about on a phone

This'll be the last Saturday I ever get to drive my buggy before starting my new job. I guess that means I should come!

Stay down overnight? I can look into a campsite or cheap hotel with a place local for secure parking?
Well I'm up at the crack of dawn and heading down. It's a blast down Dav. But the issue is
you'll have to crack on really early to rendezvous with me.
This is all weather dependant to
Remember No congestion charging on weekends so this is completely free of charge just your fuel to cover
If anyone wants overnight accommodation let me know and I'll see what I can arrange
2 weeks to go.
Is there any landmarks people would like to see and I'll plan the route to accommodate if possible
Personally I'd like to drop my 2 kids off at the Tower. >:(
Really sorry guys, but I won't be able to make this one now. I've a family event that I can't get out of at all. But have a fantastic time the rest of you!
Anymore?

Not had chance yet.
But basically from Beckton we turn right towards North Greenwich and follow the route to silvertown. We will then head towards Canary Wharf and through the limehouse link tunnel(careful its 30mph with cameras) then straight down the highway to Tower Hill and along lower Thames street onto the embankment until we reach the non chiming Big Ben. Circumnavigate parliament sq and head towards trafalgar sq, sharp left at the top and down the mall to see the royals and then bear right to Hyde Park Corner. Quick blip up park lane towards Marble Arch to the normal rendezvous point in Hyde park on east drive.
After a short break we will leave the park and pick up the a40 via Lancaster terrace, once on the a40 we will all see the sad sight of grenfell tower.
We will then continue along the a40 to Hanger Lane junction a pick up the a406 towards Wembley the ace cafe is the second slip road of the main road
Thanks Gary
Basically the old route before Boris tried to break it
