If you're at Tolworth there's no need to even cross the Thames to get to Dover, because you'll be on the A3.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

They have removed the pay booths.


Nope - the toll booths were still there on Saturday when I went across the Bridge.

Going south from Essex to Kent there's a new bend in the road which takes you around the end of the toll booths.

Going north from Kent to Essex you have to go through the old toll booths and barriers although there's nobody there. I'm guessing that they have to be able to control the flow of vehicles through the tunnels for safety reasons.

Ah, Tolworth, I remember it well. The land of the Tower. Only just on the right side of the Thames though!

I did not say they have removed the toll booths themselves,

I said the pay booths , meaning the place you pay .
