Ok so, I'm sure you've heard all this before, but I'll mention it anyway. :)
So where I'm working right now for instance,
No road, pedestrian area only.
Congestion charge £11 a day.
Parking, not 100% sure of the rates there but I can't believe it's less than £4.40 an hour, it's that in residential areas.
That close to Oxford st and Bond St, it's got to be more.
So how much so far?
9 X £4.40 ..... £39.60
Congestion £11. 00
So we're at £51.60 plus fuel, probably around £7-8.00 sat in traffic for a couple hours. Minimum 3hrs travelling there and back from South West London.
So we're at £60 give or take a few pence.
Multiply that by 5 days, we get £300.00 a week, give or take!
Up against the cost of a travel card for seven days, (which allows you unlimited travel throughout London. Buses, trains, tube and DLR)
And that costs £47 for me, to cover zones 1-4
So tight arse? No I don't think so, haha

So why don't you drive there when it's quite...say in the evening or Sunday off load your kit, 30 mins Maxs, then take the choo choo train for the rest of the week?

Yeah quite difficult to get commercial property opened at our request on a Sunday haha
But if that sort of thing is possible, sometimes I do. Depends if I wanna give up my time at home.
