A6 overbridge, view west (see all photos of the same view)

Under the A6 bridge, at the bottom of the picture, the new M65 has three lanes in each direction on the short length between its two motorway interchanges. This section was designed to allow for future widening to four lanes each way, and the A6 bridge includes extra space underneath for this reason.

What's new

Signs and sensibility

The one great attempt to make London’s streets logical - and how one retired chauffeur’s favourite routes changed the way you get around the capital.

A bridge under troubled bridges

A bridge that was ruined by another bridge, and a type of highway planning beyond any of the UK’s worst nightmares.

The monster seen from below

What might it have been like to stand in one spot and witness the arrival, and the uncertainty, of plans for an urban motorway in West London?
