I use to use it but at 4am it was my favourite place in the world while i had the R32! It shut once though and took me 6 hours to get home  :angry:

Ahh yeah dont get me wrong would be perfect for a tunnel run. Just not when your trying to get to work lol. The worst thing is an over height lorry takes ages then.

I used to work over at Canary Wharf for 2 years a few years back now and had that drive every morning. I got it down to a tee and knew which lanes to be in at which time. The key is to get there for 7 or earlier otherwise youve had it. I remember when they had a diesel spillage and closed it for the day I had to use the Rotherhithe tunnel. Got to work at midday after leaving at 6:30. Its a great tunnel for sound as Jules said, Ive followed a few Ferraris through it and its awesome.

LOVE IT !!

Yea I rem that we had to use the woolwich ferry wich aint no better in the mornings. Your right there mate have to duck in and out of traffic go down the slip roads then back on. Limehouse links also a good tunnel for a nice sounding car.

it also closes at 9pm between Sunday to Thursday which is a right royal pain as you have to either go through rotherhithe and then through the pit that is New Cross or go all the we out to dartford which is miles away. they should have a new crossing around that area.

Should defiantly up date it as its clear to see its not up to scratch with the amount of traffic
