Flew about 80 miles of my planned route and then no part of it for the rest of the trip.
Did you leave controlled airspace of your own volition? If you did......
Every other controller asks me "what kind of service are you requesting?"
If outside CAS this is EXACTLY what the controller MUST ask you.Have a look here.
Air Space Safety: ATSOCAS 917
the only approach that I could find was ILS21
Thats the only ILS there.

The Thames radar controller (who was not busy)
Sorry but you have NO idea from listening to one frequency what is going on.
I did try to get familiar with the area before the flight, but couldn't immediately place Lambourne
You didn't try too hard then.If I was flying into the London TMA I sure as heck would have a good working knowledge of VOR's to which I may be sent.
Is it me... or the UK ATC system?
Seems like it's you
