I live just outside Thames Valley, in northern Hampshire, and I drive through TV regularly - pop down here and I'll show you some good B roads. If you're brave enough I'll take you for a spin in my 2+2 ;-)
Check out the A417 from Reading to Wantage. Or "the bends of death" from Reading towards Oxford (can't remember the name of the road, but it goes from Caversham to the now closed M&P motorcycle shop). There is a lot of 50 section along the bends that give it the famous name however cameras are only in the village sections where you should be respecting all the speed limits anyway, and the corners are packed so close together that there isn't the possibility of a camera van or radar gun site. You can manage 50 no problem - it is up to you if you feel the conditions are right to make progress [1]. The place along there that there are camera vans, typically is the big wide open straight section where it's probably ok to go eeeek mph[2]. There are plenty more roads that even getting up to the 60 limit is near suicide, but fun if you treat them with respect. Road that runs parallel (ish) to the A4 from Maidenhead to Reading another example. [1] as my advanced motorcycle group used to call it [2] Note to children and disclaimer, speeding kills small furry cute animals. It's also illegal. I drive everywhere at 10mph under the limit, anything that may make you think otherwise is me showing off to try to make myself seem more interesting.
