It’s Foot Down Friday, Thurrock will be gridlocked by late morning becasue of the normal queues for the tunnel, plus someone is bound to crash into someone else in the immediate vicinity. Wimbledon, Thurrock, Park Royal.

AFAIK, tomorrow is only Thursday
Park royal must be closer to the starting point of the M4 than Wimbledon, so do that first, then M25 to Thurrock (make sure the Dartford charge is paid (£6 max)
Clear your card,at the Riverside cafe Colnbrook. Then get stuck in
Assuming no timed deliveries I’d be tempted to go furthest first and start at Thurrock as that’s the outlier, you can also clear your card around there and check traffic because you can then go and do either one next - I’d probably plump for Park Royal then Wimbledon buts no odds really - and then you’re on the right side to head away and homewards
AS already stated, MAKE SURE you have a 45 before going into Smoke. You will then have 4 1/2 hrs driving time to do it and get out.

Op had said can’t do Thurrock 1st
Thanks for all the posts on todays London challenge , do London now and again but it’s nearly always 1 tip and outta there , usually Enfield or Tilbury so easy to do .
Now on todays challenge , firstly they all opened at 9am so no early start
The order I done it was Park Royal / Wimbledon / Thurrock
Followed sat nav ( bit strange some of the routing but being a bit raw in the Wimbledon area especially I followed it most of the time )
So done a 15 at Reading on the way into Park Royal sat nav took me M4 to North circular then north over Hanger Lane take a right then onto the delivery point , tipped took 30 mins
Arrived 0920 departed 1020
Onto Wimbledon ( A218 ) delivery point , sat nav took me back down North circular then tried to take me along A4 intowards London I wasn’t sure so went towards Brentford and went over Kew bridge .onto South circular around Wandsworth one way system down A218 to delivery point arrived 1130 departed 1220
So now Thurrock ( south ockenden) sat nav took me south of the river then through Bermondsey and over Tower Bridge eventually picking up A13 onto Thurrock or my other option was Leave my delivery point A218 go through Wimbledon onto A24 follow onto meet M25 round M25 through tunnel A282 to delivery ppoint ( purfleet commercial centre ) This was the option I took as firstly new this route and secondly could not be bothered with stop start all through London in 30 degrees
Arrived 1345 departed 1410 then got round to south mimms had my 2nd 45 leaving me 3.10 to get back to Bristol , done with 11 mins to spare .
Next time I would do Wimbledon first Park Royal 2nd & Thurrock last
Fair play ^^^ I’ve always tried to get the (geographically) closest drop off first anyway. My reasoning being that if I’ve got to ■■■■ about then it’s easier when lighter than heavier. It’s alway stood me in good stead.
