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.

On a local development, the council insisted on restricted car parking
spaces to discourage people from owning cars. Didn't work. ;-) Even
although public transport here is excellent. People just want to own a
car, even when it makes no economic sense.

And they'll park anywhere - on the pavement, blocking people's
driveways, in bus stops etc......
