How much extra time for rush hour traffic?

I have to travel from North London to Bury St Edmunds tomorrow morning to arrive by 9am. I always train it but due to the strike there are no trains so I am going to have to brave the drive. I have no experience of rush hour car commuting at all. The various route planners suggest it will take between 1 hr 30 - 1hr 45. How much extra time would you leave for hiccups and rush hour traffic (I have purchased a sat nav in preparation so I'm hoping there won't be that many wrong turns). Thanks

I normally double what the AA routefinder says.

It is school holidays at the moment so traffic is generally not as bad, even in rush hour. That said, I would give yourself about 2 and half hours, if you arrive extra early you can find a coffee shop and treat yourself to breakfast
