I know quite a few of us live around here, anyone watching this? I need to get from Thames Ditton to London tomorrow morning, and the official Olympic website said to expect road closures up to 2 hours before the torch goes through! Kingston's says it's a rolling road block 15 minutes before though, so I'm going to choose to believe that one and hope for the best.

I only cross the route on my way to work, but I may go in late and take my daughter to watch it before dropping her off at day camp.
