I’m off to London today, but not exactly to visit the Queen. I have a 3 day workshop/conference to attend.

To limit the number of private vehicles in the capital, the government had introduced some traffic schemes, congestion charge, being one of them. Coupled with a limited/expensive parking fees, people are a lot more dependent on the use of public transport when they go to work. The “tube” is what we always use whenever we travel within Central London.

Here is a video on what some feels about the London Underground. It’s just over a minute. It’s worth watching.

Good fun to go for a day out or two. Or perhaps a whole week. But absolutely not for me to live and work, when you have 2 kids. I really am glad that I don’t live in London and therefore don’t have to endure all the delays and traffic jams each day.Nevertheless, despite all this I still love London. Have a lovely week.
