The solution: The motor car.

(a) London traffic is dreadful, I'd hardly ever use the car.

(b) Even if I did, parking costs a fortune.

(c) Couldn't afford the insurance where I live (correction: wouldn't want to pay that much...)

(d) ........I can't actually drive.  :|

A) You live in Streatham - and the standard of driving in Streatham and other South London areas in unbelievably bad
B) meh to owning a car in London
C) most other people in Streatham don't have insurance!
D) see C!


Okay I'm being a bit tongue in cheek , but there is a grain of truth there
And parts of North London are the same!

All too true, sadly!  :lol:

Yep, I'm in the same boat - even about to move to Streatham. I can drive, but haven't done so for 10-15 years. I must admit I'd be terrified of starting again. The folks I know who do drive seem to have a worse time travelling than I do. It seems to be costing them a load more, and they're usually wound up about something car-related (tax, petrol, insurance, other drivers, queues, parking, etc, etc).

Just got a rock thrown at me from a passing car. It missed. I love south london and its festive attitude.
