A blue sign showing the distances to places ahead, with the following text.
Heading: M25; The NORTH.
Listed places: Stansted [Airport symbol]; Watford; Cambridge.
We've got about eight miles of pleasant but uneventful Essex countryside to traverse until the next junction, so this seems like a good time to have a look at where we're headed. This sign is at about 2 o'clock on our circuit of London, but shows only one place that's actually on the M25 - Watford - which is about a quarter of a circuit away.
