M1 or A1 to Wembley?

[Jonesy57]

Is there still about 20 miles of average speed cameras just above the M25?

In the Northampton phase there are.

 

[Superchamps]

M1 Junction 15-14 has about 20 miles down to 40mph

50 it is

A1

50 it is

It's variable. However, you're lucky to get out of second gear in most parts so the recommended speed is nonsense.

a1 on the way down and m1 on the way back. i'm almost sure the a1 near alconbury has weekend road closures.
we're stopping at southgate premier inn but going round to the ace cafe on the sunday morning for breakfast which is just down from wembley travelodge and walking to the match from there.

Just be looking at the parking and it's supposedly limited at the hotel. If can't get parked there at least that area is outside of the event parking zone so should find somewhere to dump the car!

A1 is my favoured route when I travel south for work. There are some roadworks Cambridge area which is 40mph but better than all roadworks 50mph parts on the M1 plus Peterborough services is miles better than the majority on the M1

Stopping at Wembley Travelodge on the Saturday but undecided which way to drive down.

Is it easier to Go A1(M), M18, then M1, or just stay on the A1(M)? Both seem to end converge in pretty much ch exactly the same place.A1 is slightly longer at an extra 4 miles, any ideas?

A1, too many 50mph average speed checks on M1.

A1 has sex shops (allegedly)

Swingers club too, not that I've ever noticed

 

[MagicRat]

In going M1 but I’m heading west of Wembley (ruislip).

M1 was fine on way to Wycombe few weeks back, came off at 15a though

 

[ShieldsBlackCat2015]

M1. More service stations. About 10 I think.

Down to about 2/3 mile them road works now. Maybes not even that and most of it is 50mph now

A1, too many 50mph average speed checks on M1.

Most have gone now. Only about 2 on the whole stretch now and neither are very long

 

[one gary owers]

Always go A1 M1 is to boring

 

[Mainze]

A1 @blondfella

 

[Windypants]

M40. Cut across from M1 via A/M42. Quieter and better road and takes you right into Wembley.

M1 for me too on Saturday, then M25 and A30 up to Raynes Park.

Sex shop/garage. Ideal to get blow-up dolls re-inflated.

i thibk its average but theres no cameras on that part anyway

we've stayed there a few times before and there's quite a bit parking on site. they give you a token to let you in and they've always been fine if we've just wanted to leave it there for the full day after we've checked out. might be a small fee.

None that you can see, but look out for the thin yellow stanchions along the way.
