Low emission zone London question

[joebloggs]

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

[red98]

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?

[red98]

:lol  Locksmith , that links for the congestion charge , same mistake I made  :rollin ....iam no expert either but i do go into london a fair bit for work , iam pretty sure the emmision charge is for trucks only...i use an elderly V70 and dont pay a penny....


good old....RIP OFF BRITAIN    :rolleyes

[locksmith]

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.

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. :\

[robbo]

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.

[darrsi]

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.

[taylor]

can you get tuck tuck, or a rickshaw.  for vely cheap.

[robbo]

You can get a rickshaw but they're foccing expensive.Like £1 a metre.

[darrsi]

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.

[joebloggs]

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

[taylor]

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.
