What's the closest these engines come to London?

Never seen one and it's getting a bit like the old days when I had to go up narth to see different engines.:|

As compared to desiro 450/444 the cab visibility seems to be very good.

I think they look like great engines as well.

Think they will be avoiding London as a rule, one reason for FL getting them was that TfL's increased overground service (and the ELL works) will mean Felixstowe freights will have to go via Bury and Peterborough

70001 works regularly out of Felixstowe to Lawley Street on 4L69 and 4M93 which I believe passes through Stratford (4M93 about 16.30 Mon-Fri), someone please correct me if i am wrong.
