my section of the south circular is very leafy

past the artillery barracks and all the flags etc where Lee Rigby was hacked to death

The Blackheath area is always very pretty

Unlike the dangly metal max height things approaching the Blackwall tunnel

Past the millennium dome

The northbound tunnel is stupidly bendy

Its Victorian era, and they sunk ventillation shafts from unused land on the surface and then connected them below ground nowhere near in a straight line

This man pulled in front of me and then saw the speed camera and stepped on the breaks

Through Stratford where they built buildings with odd tops for the Olympics

Can really start motoring now we have got to the north circular. Born to be Wild comes on the stereo...

Some beautiful blossoms outside the church at palmers green

Coming back home again, the north circular really is a far more impressive piece of road than the south circular

There is a big windmill to go with the enormous roundabout at the eastern end of the north circular

More than a mile away from the tunnel but the lane on the left is the queue. On a Sunday its easier to drive past and do a 360° on the next roundabout come back from that side

Although there is still a bit of a queue there. Canary wharf and the docklands developments on the right

The southbound Blackwall tunnel is only 50 years old and much straighter. Although we'd have had a massively needed bridge in East London by now if Boris hadn't been elected

Instead he gave us this totally pointless £60million cross river cable car (not my pic)

The exceptionally straight A207 takes me home, it is built over the Roman road Watling Street that went to Dover

A week ago the marathon would have been going down here

Sorry about your bridge. I always take my foreign guests on the cable car though, and love the thing.

That was really nice! Thanks!

I love seeing London pics! Have any cable cars ever fallen into the river?

Oh interesting! I didn't know those were called cable cars. This is what "cable car" means to me, even though I don't think they use cables anymore:

I call the hangy ones gondolas or funiculars.

Those are great pics.
