Update: they've refunded me £30 without quibbling. Tbf to the driver, he said Google Maps was showing that route as the fastest, but I doubt it was much faster than the direct route straight down through Putney etc. Still, grrr

Hm, true, but I checked how long the drive would be and it was about the same as going the long way round. The driver said he preferred going on the motorway
mmm. All well and good if you don't have to pay the extra miles. I had a similar experience going to heathrow when they decided to go M25 which might have been quicker but 10 miles longer! I also got a refund
google maps sometimes has very strange ideas about which routes are fastest. on my way to Heathrow, part of the M25 shut. maps calculates a new route down some main roads, then switches to a "faster" route - a bunch of tiny country lanes. problem is it assumes you can do the speed limit...
