London to Portsmouth
The A3 is the historic route south-west from London to Portsmouth, connecting the capital with the home of the navy, and thanks to a steady programme of upgrades since the early part of the 20th Century, it still is, and today it's virtually a motorway from the city to the coast.
It was specially designed never to be noticed. And now it's disappearing, nobody has noticed its absence. It's London's own bespoke street light.
The wait is over! The full map of the Ringways, London’s unbuilt urban motorway network, is now online. Not even the system's planners had anything like this.
Kent County Council is run by eurosceptic nationalists. So why are they putting EU flags on their road signs?
The engineering marvel of its day, much altered and maligned ever since: this is the original Mersey Tunnel in all its glory.
