Here’s the real punchline: the Wisley Interchange closure is good for you. I know, I sound insane. But sitting in traffic is the only time modern adults are forced to just sit still.
You can’t do laundry. You can’t answer emails. You’re legally allowed to just stare at the back of a lorry carrying “Express Poultry” and wonder where those chickens are going. It’s a forced meditation retreat, just with more diesel fumes.
The construction is set to last until winter 2026. So strap in, fill up your tank, and keep a spare bag of crisps in the glovebox. You’re going to need them. And remember: the longer you sit there, the closer you are to a slightly better junction.
Or as the locals now say: “Welcome to the M25. Where we’re always improving, one parking lot at a time.”
