Having commuted from Gravesend to Wembley every day, before the M25 I
can assure you that it quite possible to go through central London
without significant problems. So your Gatwick example is invalid.

I remember doing it [1] as a kid about 68. By 1980 it was impractical
(the M25 was completed in 86)

Those were the days! I regularly drove from St. Albans to Uckfield (near
Lewes) to commission a water filtration plant. The quickest route was
through central London: Hyde Park Corner, Park Lane, Vauxhall Bridge and
out on the A23.

I would not dream of doing it today, never mind the diesel car!
