At 14.5 km, this is the longest route from Tolworth, running about 32 minutes west toward Esher and Thames Ditton. It has the fewest turns of the six routes (just 2 left and 4 right), so it flows more than it twists, but it carries 17 sets of traffic lights and passes the complex Scilly Isles junction.

Watch Out For

  • Scilly Isles junction. A busy multi-arm junction with traffic lights and an underpass. Get into the correct lane early and follow the lane markings, not the car in front.
  • Hook Rise South at 50 mph. A faster dual-carriageway stretch. Build up to the limit and keep pace with traffic rather than crawling.
  • School near Hook Rise South. Watch for a reduced limit and children at the start and end of the school day, right where the faster road meets the side streets.
  • Pedestrian crossing. Be ready to stop; check it well before you reach it.

Route Features

  • Only 2 left and 4 right turns, the most free-flowing of the Tolworth routes.
  • 3 roundabouts and 17 sets of traffic lights.
  • Speed limits range from 20 mph residential up to 50 mph on the bypass.

Key Tips

  • With 17 sets of lights, read each one early and cover the brake on a stale green.
