You don't have much choice but to use M25 to get past London, it's a horribly busy (take that to mean snails pace!) road at weekday rush hour times 6.30-9.30am and 3.00-7.30pm, the eastern route is a toll crossing over the Thames (NO BOOTHS, pay online/by phone). It's NEVER a joy to drive at any time, allow plenty of time to negotiate it! I'm a Londoner and use it often - REALLY wish I didn't have too! As a stranger to town DO NOT even consider North and South Circular roads A406/A205 as alternative to M25 to get around London, the A205 especially, truly is the stuff or nightmares!!!!!!!
Neither M1 nor M6 are good routes in my experience, last couple of trips to/from Lake District from/to London have taken me 10 Hours (instead of well under 6 hours as it should be!) because of countless hold ups and tens of miles of clutch pumping crawling! - I'm led to believe by friends in Midlands that is not unusual! I've certainly not got past Birmingham easily in decades.
If going north/returning to London, I tend to try and use A1/A1(M). M1 nearly always has hold ups as you get within 50 odd miles of London.
I use TomTom Mydrive route planner which allows you to customise your vehicle details and journey preferences, generally find it to be one of the best, as it shows traffic delays, alternative routes etc., and timings are much closer to realistic than some route planners!
