I work hybrid and usually don’t leave home till 9am if I’m going out that day. Very lucky I know!

Tomorrow I have to drive a bit further and need to be there by 8:30 (about 12 miles) and not sure what the busiest time would be to go. I’d hope to avoid traffic if I possibly can! I know it’s dropped off at 9am, lots quieter from 9:30am.

What about before then? Is traffic bad around you around 7:30, or would it be worse from 8?

Between 8 and 8:30, although does start building up from 7:30. Not sure how much help this is (unless you live round the corner!).

Around me, it's 8:15 to 8-45 due to school run traffic. The entire town is gridlocked. In school holidays, it's clear!

I’d say from about 7.30 to 8.45 it’s pretty bad here. I’m in the South East (but not London) just off a major A road.

Check Waze or google maps using your arrival time and it will tell you.

If I leave at 715 I can get to work for 805. If I leave at 730 I’ll be lucky to get there for 9. 50 minutes v 90.

As for how busy it is at my house, I live near a tourist attraction that opens at 10am. So try not to leave the house 930-1030am.
