is the official route down the A23 after they come out of croydon, or do they use the M23 for a hit of the route?

im hoping it avoids the A23, as if it does it goes straight past the end of my road.

just dont want to have a road jam or struggle to get home from work in the morning!

This is all I can find...


The route is full of great contrasts, passing through the London suburbs of Westminster, Brixton, Croydon and Purley, past Gatwick Airport, Crawley and then into the beautiful countryside of The Weald, crossing the North and South Downs. Ditchling Beacon on the South Downs (near but not part of the A23) is a steep climb followed by a gentle descent for five miles into the seaside resort of Brighton, where the route finishes on the promenade by the Kings Road arches. The current London to Brighton Veteran Car Run does not use the route past the Ditchling Beacon but follows the A273 road up Clayton Hill and rejoins the A23 at Pyecombe.

Follow the Official direction signs - "London to Brighton Mini Run" - to the A23. Once on the A23, follow signs to Brighton.

A while ago there was some kind of mini run with the new shape BMW minis, hundreds of the fuckers, they came thru the town, waving and beeping their horns like people actually gave a fuck.

Right bunch of geeky self important cunts, waving and shit like we cared.
