The gyratory and the flyover
The Broadway gyratory is a multi-lane one-way system with bus lanes, cycle infrastructure and very few places a car may legally stop. Attempting a collection on the gyratory itself is not sensible. We work instead from Beadon Road, Glenthorne Road or the western end of King Street, all of which are within a short walk of the interchange.
The flyover carries the A4 above all of this and is periodically closed for maintenance, usually overnight or at weekends. When that happens, through traffic drops onto the gyratory and journey times across the district roughly double. Bookings during a published closure are given additional time rather than a hopeful estimate.
For office buildings on the Embankment and Winslow Road, access is through service entrances with managed set-down. The chauffeur will confirm which entrance is in use, since several of these buildings have more than one and they are not equally accessible by car.
