Hammersmith hospital and olympics

[tamirra]

Hi, we need to get our daughter to Hammersmith hospital on Tuesday 31st July, does anyone know if we will get held up with diversions or anything to disrupt the route there from Ramsgate in Kent please, or is Hammersmith not anywhere near the olympic stadium. Thanks

hammersmith hospital isn't near an olympic venue, but it is near the A40 Westway, which is part of the olympic network and does have games lanes - these were active for the first time today, and driving conditions were poor. see http://www.bbc.co.uk/...gland-london-18953088
the hospital trust itself says:-
What if I travel by car?
Key London roads will be affected by the Olympic Route which passes near our hospitals. The network will be open to regular traffic, however it will be busier than normal, and there will be turning restrictions at certain points, and some pedestrian crossings will be removed. If you can avoid driving on the Olympic Route Network itself, your journey will be less disrupted.
