Default Driving to London tomorrow

Will be driving to Croydon tomorrow from Southampton any idea of traffic predictions? Should be on the road for about 9.30am hoping everyone will be there by then

Not going to watch the wedding before anyone asks! The other halfs parents live there, doesnt she have good timing to chose when to go visit lol

Any suggested routes would be appreciated was going to go the A31 up to Guildford and stay off the M3, cant seem to find out what predictions for traffic will be tomorrow.

Cheers

Went to Croydon today, Mrs Bottles wanted sushi so off we went, if you are coming up the A31 get onto the A246 at Guildford and follow it to Leatherhead you can then pick up the A24 follow this to Epsom and out the other side where you will pick up the A232 to Croydon via Sutton the 232 was running weell today going in, made the mistake of leaving via the A23 which had roadworks around Coulsdon affecting both ways.
