Just moved offices to Brompton Road (SW7) and can't find a route from there to either Clapham Junction or Waterloo - anyone know?

The plus side to this move is that we are above the Maserati garage, with Ferrari just over the road ! Result !

£8 a day before you get started

Unless your just outside the zone and can navigate a route round. Its not hard but its busy in the mornings.

Clapham is also a bit of a pig to park in. There is Asda, but I dont think you can park all day there.

8 squid a day is quite good compared to the 12 I was paying when I worked in Richmond ! Want somewhere I can park & pay rather than have to go back and top up, but know its going to be tricky.

I dont mean for parking mate, I mean congestion zone. Are you not in it there?
Clapham does not have too much long term parking. Not seen much anyway.
Im just down the road.

lol its certainly a wake up call eh.
But like I say, if your in it or travel through it... the expense of driving and parking will soon mount up. But then again, given the choice of common transport or my own car.... I usually drive lol

Just checked and sure enough, you are just inside it, so no escape, unless you can apply for the residents discount.

If you can get the discount, superb, 80p a day, much better.

I'm up at Imperial and only just manage to snaffel occasional parking, 90% of the time I use the scooter, and yes we have been in the "ken"gestion charge area since Febuary, Much to the annoyance of our occasional visitors.

UPDATE....

Heard on the radio this morning the adverts, saying the "consultation" with Londoners, to see if the congestion zone should be associated with emissions, is to begin.

It is set to be the same as the congestion zone extention "consultation" and just a formality, rather than an open forum for discussion.

So if you are gonna use a scooby for that commute..... the £8 is about to become £25 a day.
