Not exactly a major worry. Hasnt impacted particuarly on London, its just meant more people use public transport or car share.

Anything to reduce the congestion and gridlock in the UK's major cities is a good thing imho.

Life's a bitch - they will get used to it. Also, I am pretty sure if anyone needs their car/van for the work they do, and they are not merely commuters, there "is" special rates available in London in the form of rebates, so long as they can prove it.

I know the bigger courier companies all get massively reduced rates to enter London.
