Off to London for the weekend in my car, it a 93 1.8 Eunos so I guess it wont be exempt from charges, anyone live in the city and if so can you give me some info on charges, how to pay etc
Thanks
-
Work in london a fair bit, works car is registered so I dont have to do anything, if I go on the bike theres no charge as bikes exempt. .....
.good news for you is the charge is not in operation at weekends :) have a good weekend :thumbup
-
DOH....gave you the wrong answer :o ....low emmision charges only apply to diesel hgv / vans etc...so , no charge for your Eunos
so, no congestion charge and no emmision charge :) parking for a car is expensive though, working in holborn last friday and i paid £30 for 2 hrs parking :eek ....was actually 2hr 9 mins but the guy let me off, would have been another £9......
-
I'm no expert on the subject, but I cant see a 1998 car being ultra low emmissions and avoiding the congestion charges?

Doh :lol

Crikey those prices are extortionate for a northern lad like me :eek
-
You'll be fine. Drive through London all weekend and pay nothing. On street free parking can also generally be found in most places at the weekend. Where you going? ~roughly.

Thanks for replies
stopping in a hostel in west London, nothing special, my brother and I just wanted a couple of nights /days in the smoke, bit of sight seeing and a few beers etc
-
You can park free on the streets from 1pm (or noon) Saturday (including meters & pay 'n' display bays) and all day Sunday :thumbup
-
HOW MUCH, to park , 5uck that I get charged 1 pound in saundersfoot and I moan about that. good luck lads. :\
-
Yeah the LEZ has put quite a lot of people out of work as they were unable to afford to upgrade vans and trucks to be compliant. I imagine cities like Liverpool, Manchester, Southampton etc won't be far behind.
-
If your going on the lash as well, better off parking up outside of central, get a MUCH cheaper hotel, and use public transport every day.
You will need an Oyster Card, or just buy a one day travel card.
-
can you get tuck tuck, or a rickshaw. for vely cheap.
-
You can get a rickshaw but they're foccing expensive.Like £1 a metre.
-
When i say park outside central, i mean well outside.
I live in Harrow and we're talking 30 minutes on the tube for about 12 miles away from the West End.
-
I'm in zone 2. Plenty of free onstreet parking near me all weekend.
Have a look on google maps around where you are staying. On street view you can read the parking signs and see where is free.
-
Off street parking at hostel is £5 pr day, not to bad, car was free from emission charges so apart from extortionate price of beer its not cost me too much.... Yet
-
so how much is a pint of lager, ? I pay 310, for grolsh, and a bottle of okay house wine is 6,40, the wine just went up from 6.00. the most expensive wine is 14, a bottle.

Haha, try Covent Garden, you'll be lucky to get change out of a 20 for 3 bottles of Grolsch.

Taylor - you fancy posting up your local offy prices, reckon you'd make a killing from us in the real world :thumbup

The Punch & Judy pub, Covent Garden. :b
-
wisemans bridge inn, saundersfoot. on the beach as well.

Found a hostel in Ealing about £25 pp per night, not the Ritz but no where near as bad as the reviews suggested.
Paid on average £5 a pint, about twice what I can get a beer for in my home town but hey, thats the price, you dont have to buy it.
If you haven't been to winter wonderland I'd recommend it, just don't go on a Saturday, far to busy
Oh and I found a nice little flat to rent in Kensington, only £8k...................A week..........

Welcome to London :lol
