Drivers on the A3 were held up yesterday by a giant electrical transformer being driven to Peckham.
The transformer’s journey sparked a steady current of tweets as police set up temporary road closures along the Malden Way stretch of road past New Malden.
The abnormal load vehicle, nearly 5m wide and reaching a maximum speed of 12mph, was destined for New Cross substation in Peckham.
