Your advice please folks,
I commute to the Shard (well very close to it) approx 3-4 times a week and I have 2 main route options, M40 or M4.
I'm in a position geographically where I can take the M40 via Oxford or the M4 via Swindon into the City. I currently take the M40 via Oxford and door to door it takes around 2 hours with a good amount of filtering in London, as you'd expect. For clarity I do this on a CB500X not the GSA. The M4 does currently have a 50MPH limit for more miles than I want to mention so I haven't really explored many options off the M4.
I do like the route Via Oxford as it's less motorway miles so less squaring of the rear tyre. I then turn off the A40, go past Hyde Park, Constitution Hill, Buckingham palace, Westminster then towards E&C then up Borough High Street.
Anyway, I'm really after advice when I get into London, I've read the A40, which the M40 merges into is a good way to get into the city, but I'm just wondering if others on here commute and what routes they take. The London end of the A40 can get tight and I'm convinced there are better ways in/out.
Cheers
