M25

M25 Junctions

The M25 is London's orbital motorway, 117 miles round, with the A282 and the Dartford Crossing closing the loop in the east. We have a page for every junction because most people's M25 journey starts and ends at one or two of them: the junction near home, the one by work, the one for the airport, or the one they come off to see family or visit somewhere.

Each page is written for the people who use that junction: commuters, airport travellers, delivery and lorry drivers, families and visitors. It shows a close-up map of the junction, a wider map of the towns and places around it, the junctions either side, and what our own records of National Highways data show has been happening there. Each page links straight to the live M25 speed flow map and the latest M25 traffic news.

      We check these overhead signs at least every five minutes, but we can't guarantee a sign is still current if an incident or issue has been cleared and the sign has not been updated yet. Signs and news can each carry something the other does not - check both before you travel.
