Which would cost nearly as much to park in Central London, plus
congestion charge, plus being less environmentally-friendly. Plus the
stress of driving there and back.... yuck! Okay, trains can be stressy,
but far less so than driving - and even slow trains can be a *lot*
quicker. Husband takes 45 minutes door-to-door if he uses the train; by
car it is a minimum of 1.5 hours, plus all the stress of driving.....

Best thing I ever did for me was to stop driving a car to work. It used
to take me (at the best) about an hour to get across London. It could
take as long as 3 hours on a bad day.

I changed jobs and now have a 20min motorcycle ride round the NCR.

And (oddly enough to some people around here) I actually feel that I'm
doing some good for London as I became a Tube driver.
