London boroughs dominate a new ranking of the UK's busiest roads, with Hounslow taking the top spot and Kingston among the top ten.

A recent study from Pens.com has revealed that Hounslow experiences an average of 232.2 vehicles per hour for each kilometre of road.

Kingston upon Thames and Tower Hamlets follow closely in seventh and eighth positions with 197.8 and 197.7 vehicles per hour, respectively, continuing London's dominance in the rankings.

The data, sourced from the Department for Transport (DfT), underlines the significant traffic volume in these areas, providing a substantial potential audience for roadside advertising.
