Route Tips from Wapping
- Every route leaves by Kildowan Road, a 20mph side street, and most turn onto Granton Road or Goodmayes Road straight away. Check both ways properly at that first junction; nerves make it the easiest place to rush.
- Green Lane (the A1083) appears on almost every route. It is a long 30mph road with side roads, crossings and parked cars, so hold a steady 30 and watch for vehicles pulling out.
- Many routes head south into Becontree: Goodmayes Lane, Mayesbrook Road, Becontree Avenue and Wood Lane. Becontree Avenue is 20mph and has a central reservation on parts of it, so check which side of the island you need before you turn.
