London

M25 (South)

Stopover en route to Dover – Layby on the A25, between Limpsfield & Westerham. Leave the M25 at J6 and follow the A25 for about 10 minutes max going steady. The entrance to layby is just before a large pub called The Grasshopper with huge height barriered car park. (Layby slopes and is only levelish at the bottom). To continue to Dover you need to go on to Junction 5 of the M25 but there is no access to the M26 from that junction. You have to go to Swanley to get onto the M20. Otherwise it’s back to Junction 6 for the M26/M20 less miles route. A matter of personal choice, although, you could use the A25 to Wrotham and join the M20 there.
