• After 8.6miles of the journey, get into the outer 2 lanes

• Keep in right hand lane (The White Swan should be on your right hand side) – turn right onto Commercial Road and stay in the right hand lane after turning

• Keep in right hand lane as you go under the bridge

• At the lights take the right hand turn to go to the Rotherhithe Tunnel – keep in the right hand lane as it goes into a narrow width restriction road

20mph speed limit in the Rotherhithe Tunnel – speed camera as you exit the tunnel

• At the roundabout, go into the right hand lane, going all the way round the roundabout and back into the Rotherhithe tunnel – remember 20mph speed limit!
