Going from coventry to westfield shopping centre in london the one where there is a kidszani so not the stratford one.
Planning to go via m40 by car. Anyone know if i will be travelling into a congestion zone area to get to the mall?
Any tips etc too would be helpful.

thanks for the reply. i cringe when going to inner london areas, coming from coventry london is just too hectic to drive around.

I did online parking. 6.50p for 13 hours
Managed to get here straightforwards.
What time should i leave to avoid traffic?

I gonna be here till 5.30 at least.

Kidszania is a bit of a rip off. You get a 4 hour slot but half of that time is gone in waiting in the queues.

As per the advice above looks like i will stick around here and have food etc and try and leave as late as possible. 7ish seems on the cards
