October 27, 2009 | Car-Rentals, Travel-World

It’s fairly obvious that you should plan well in advance for your trip to London - both in relation to both visiting the wonderful attractions and where to park your vehicle. The 2003 introduction of the Congestion Charge which means that you are charged around £10 to drive in the central London area, so it is most prudent to find a place where you can park your vehicle as close to the attraction as you possibly can, and then have the shortest walk to your preferred destination.

London is one of the busiest cities in the world, and parking there can be extremely expensive and stressful. Remember that there are restrictions in place in relation to parking in London City Centre from 8.30 to 18.30 Monday to Friday, and 8.30 to 13.30 on Saturdays.
