National Highways said: ‘Drivers will need to the use junction 10 of the M25 differently for two weekends in October and one at the start of November.

‘While the A3 and the M25 will both be open, the slip roads off and on the junction won’t be. This means you won’t be able to leave or join the M25 or the A3 at junction 10.’
