I fell out of love with London on the A2 outside Greenwich. The tower blocks rose like teeth from the horizon, shrouded on a clear day in brown-grey vapour – stale coffee breath of the overworked capital. Queuing for the Blackwall Tunnel gives you time to contemplate the perversity of it all: drumming the steering wheel, cursing the other drivers, jostling for position on the tarmac tongue of the beast, competing to be swallowed first.
