Lambeth Council - daylight robbery
Nipped into a mates in Brixton to watch the game, just in time for kick off... virtually all the roads are permit only mon - fri, 9-5... but for some reason this road included Saturday. Came out straight after the match (hardly the most inspirational game) to find the car clamped. Cost me £115 to have it released! Is it just me or does anyone else think that's a tad excessive?! What's worse though, is that these low lifes were prowling the streets rather than watching the game.

If it's signed then you've 0 chance of getting off.
You said yourself that Saurdays are included, so you're without a chance.
Move to north London - much nicer and with less parking restrictions!!

All the borough councils just want you to park so they can rinse you.

My 2 bed garden flat has bought me a nice house three times the size with a massive garden and drive to park 4 cars.
Cheaper too

Well I'm worrying because we're moving next week to a house which is in the same area, but on more of a main road. I'm wondering what the insurance hike is going to be.

Good luck.
If it's in the same town then it probably won't make much difference.
Just do an online quote under an assumed name but with the same driver details with your current insurer to see what differences happen.

Yes and let's not forget the obligatory parking permits you have to buy - that's just short of an extra hundred pounds a year just for the priviledge of being able to park on the street outside my flat.
My insurance went up by £200 also...
