I unwittingly had a series of tests at a local private hospital - the

stocked with row upon row of £100k+ cars. Be assured, mine lowered
the average ;-)

I had an MRI scan done recently on the NHS. Also by a private company.
And this in London. Where you'd think the large hospitals could make
full use of their own. Rather than paying for a private companies
profits.

No car park though - it was in Waterloo. But just outside the station,
which was very convenient for me.

I've heard that in London when building flats or houses close to public
transport (mainly train or tube stations) that space for parking a car
doesn;t need to be provided. So if yuor work in areas such as plumbing
and electraical work where you need a van don't buy a new property near a
station.

It also works (or doesn't) the other way round. What happens when the owner
of one of these no parking homes needs a plumber?
