The most common place that I know of is going round Richmond Park where there are some fast steepish downhills (or killer uphills if going the other direction). The speed limit there is 20mph and it has long been a bone of contention for motorists that cyclists often exceed 20mph going down those hills - even the pootlers. The Parks Police used to enforce it for bikes as well (it's private land so owners rules apply), but then they stopped, and now they have started again (apparently):-

This is the most common one for me

When I pass the 40 limit sign ahead, I am usually doing around 35, have actually already been doing 40 on a couple of occasions ( in the other lane to the streetview camera of course). It is more downhill than streetview makes it look. I mentioned this in the 20mph thread, thinking it was likely to change to 20, but now I've seen the maps, it is going to be an exception, remaining at 30.
