The approach along the A233
You'll find the airport on Churchill Way, just off the A233 Main Road, up on the ridge that runs between Bromley and Westerham. Coming from the City, the car takes the A20 and the A21, then leaves them for local roads over the last four miles.
It's in those final miles that things get interesting. Through Keston and Leaves Green the A233 is just two lanes, and if it's blocked there's no sensible way round. One incident on that stretch costs twenty minutes, and the only remedy is to set off sooner.
You can also come in off the M25, exiting at junction 4 for Bromley or at junction 6 for Godstone and arriving from the south. From Surrey, Sussex or Gatwick that's the better route; from central London it's the worse one.
