Hi 

I've have a booking at Crystal Palace club site and was wondering on peoples opinions on the easiest route in.

I will be coming from the north but could also come down the M11 and over Dartford crossing if that means easy route once in London.

Thanks in advance Alan.

    If you’re coming down the M40 I’d recommend connecting with M25/ M4, cross the Thames at Kew Bridge and follow the South Circular (A205) to Crystal Palace. A fairly easy route, just make sure you avoid the toll road at Dulwich. Don’t be tempted to go too far into London before crossing the river, some of the crossings are width restricted! I’m sure there’s also routes in from the east via M11 and M1 which others will be familiar with.

    PS…watch out for mad London cyclists many of whom seem to have a death wish cutting you up from the near side without hesitation.
