Got to pick up some relatives at Heathrow 7pm on Wednesday driving from Lee....Should I go M25 or through London, usually go past The Oval, Battersea Bridge, Hammersmith Flyover when I do it.

Offer to pay for their cab. Save yourself six hours of your life you'll never get back.

I'd go M25 every time, the getting there might be a struggle ( a lot better now they've opened up the Sevenoaks to Gatwick stretch) however, the Heathrow to Lee bit will be the (much) least stressful, and quicker on the way back.
Nug. You dip in and out of the south circular and from the west side of Clapham common you fiddle around to Battersea Bridge.
Lee Ladywell Honor Oak/One Tree Hill Hornimans and South Circ Tulse Hill Christchurch Road then Clapham Common Follow A4 signs from there but you want Battersea Bridge Cheyne Walk, then follow the drag up past Earls Court Left onto the A4 and you're there.
I have done the Oval/Vauxhall one a lot, but I reckon Battersea Bridge route is better, particularly coming back. The road up and down past Earls Court is a bit slow but tends to keep moving, you have to be a bit Zen there as it's unavoidable.
Do the M25 if you reckon it will be clear and your car engine needs a bit of a run, also less in petrol, but usually more in time and distance. And it is boring.
Wait on the services on the M4 and get your relatives to bell you when they're through the formalities (use a pay phone if need be) and collect them at the Terminal pick up put down place.
talking about that, had a an X5 plod come up behind me when i was doing 80ish, do they carry cameras for tickets? anyway he went past then pulled off, didn't pull me over

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger (I hate the m4)
