Britpick Question

[amberfocus]

Does anyone know how long it takes to drive from London to Cardiff on a typical weekend day and then a weekday evening leaving Cardiff around sevenish and heading back?  I know it's 132 miles, but I'm more concerned with time than distance.  Time depends on speed limits, rush hours, traffic and road conditions, so if anyone has experience with it could you let me know?  Also is there a good midway point where you'd stop and stretch your legs or get a bite to eat?  A restaurant, a park, something like that?

132 miles probably i'd say atleast 2 1/2 hrs? i dont know what the speed limit is there, but i have a good friend who lives in London, and they've gone to cardiff several times and it usually doesn't take them long to get there. it's about 75 miles to my mom's house and it takes about 2 hrs so maybe even 3 hrs give or take to get there? i'm just guessing. you can always google it too :)
