I have got to get from west london to Birmingham by about 10.30am tomorrow. Anyone any idea what time i would have to leave?

 

It is birmingham uni iv got to get to and i live about 10mins from the A40 for access to the M40.

 

Google maps says 2 hours but i have trusted that timing before and almost missed an entire football match!

well it takes me just over 3 hours to get to the NEC from norwich, and thats further north then london but i dont have fast access to the A11, takes me maybe 30 mins to get to the A11 so around 2 and a hour hours from norwich, maybe a bit more..

 

Id say you'd struggle to get there in 2 :)

it all depends on teh state of teh roads mate. go to teh AA and look at their route finder. will be more accurate

I drive from London to Warwick up M40, a lot

It takes me 1 hour and 30 mins if I'm blatting it in me Zed :hyper:

 

Brum is about another 25 mins on top, again depends what time of day you go

 

I'd allow 2 to 2 and half hours as getting stuck on motorways in London and the Midlands can be a distinct possibility :(

I do this trip quite regularly - if you don't want to burn your wallet by gunning it and take into account traffic jams which most definately will happen around Brum, then leave at least 3hours. Up to you though bud. One thing to bear in mind is where you'll be when the rush hour hits!

 

And the route I take it M40, M42 then M6...simple as...
