What's the best time of the day to be catching the eurotunnel from folkestone, I hear the traffic on the motorways at bypass London can be like a carpark at different times of the day
As a Londoner, you'll be going across the QE2 bridge at Dartford. Either side of the bridge there are big shopping centres, Lakeside in the north and Bluewater south, traffic will build up at the weekends as the English endulge themselves in the national sport of shopping. During the week several miles of stationary are commonplace at peak times. The M25 can be totally f***ed at any time day or night, as can any motorway in England. I've been stuck in traffic at 2am on the M6 because of a crash.
To answer the question, when I've used it I make sure I'm through the Dartford crossing before traffic has a chance to build up, but Folkstone was about 90 minutes from my house. If I lived in Ireland I'd rather swim to France than drive across England.
