Despite all the hype, the M25 isn't even a full circle. The Dartford Crossing (comprising the Dartford Tunnels and the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge) over the Thames in the east and its approach roads are designated A282, because the first Tunnel was built in the 1960s as a local connection.
The Dartford Crossing is the only fixed vehicle crossing of the Thames east of Greater London. It is also the busiest crossing in the United Kingdom, and consequently puts pressure on M25 traffic. Users of the crossing do not pay a toll, but rather a congestion charge.
How the M25 got its name. The same principle explains the M25, which at its oldest point (the section crossing Surrey) follows the path of the older A25. These roads are all in the South East, which forms Zone 2 of the country's motorway system. This explains why they all contain 2 somewhere in their name.
