Junction 7 is in fact the end of the M23. It was intended originally to extend the M23 further into London but the plans were never completed. Junction 7 was built with the extension in mind and so a vestigial "motorway" continues for about 500m after the junction peels off, ending in a bridge that was never used. Today, the road space where the motorway would have run is used by the motorway maintenance crew.
