You forgot the channel tunnel and the one where the French killed Princess Di
Rotherhithe isn't really worth it in my opinion, speed cameras all the way through, really narrow and a pain to get to.
Best off with ....
Dartford Bridge > Dartford Tunnel > Limehouse link > Rotherhithe loop if you must > Limehouse link > McDonalds
> City airport high speed blast 
> Dartford Bridge > Dartford Tunnel

What about a trundle along the Embankment (good Underpasses), round Parliament Square, Back down Whitehall to Trafalgar square (Tall buildings = great echo
) Or is this....
1. Too far
2. Too risky with police presence (and my heavy right foot
)3. Liable to be busy

Last blast I did (bear in mind i live in Kent now not Essex) is
Dartford Tunnel > Blackwall >Limehouse link > McDonalds >Rotherhithe> other way Rotherhithe > Limehouse link > Blackwall >
I presonally think rotherhithe is cr4p (but then i dont make any noise til 5k) at 20mph
I love the Blackwall though
London on a Friday is busy and we would get split up which is annoying.
That's my 2p's worth
Also i'm having my rear suspension done so the car may not actually be ready

Never had a problem with the police (even with 150 + scoobies on the tunnel run), just a bit too far on a busy friday night I think.
What time are we meeting?

Points all taken on board.
So lets not do the Embankment or Rotherhithe, but we could still do Blackwall and back.
(Quick double back after return through Limehouse)Which Mcdonalds? The one at Aspen Way?

Sounds like a plan but as for the formentioned blast through dartford on sunday my breaks have taken a bit of a pounding and wouldn't want to risk them on a tunnel run 
(Replacing them next week) P.S Thanx Bibo
So anyone got a spare seat for a camera man
and a safe place to park?

there is no easy way to turn around at the end of the Limehouse link and head back again other than turning right up Butcher Row, heading through the Rotherhithe, looping around the roundabout at the end and coming back again.
If there are only a few of us we could always just do a quick 'u' turn in Butcher Row depending on traffic.
Keep the Walkie talkies charged. Bri4n as Lead car.
