One also has to bear in mind *road space* rather than the space

I'm not so sure that's an issue unless you tend to look at the road
ahead "through" other cars. Then again, I've always preferred tall
cars because of the extra space they tend to give (I'm 6'4" and fairly
heavily built so I need it!) so I'm more used to looking over than
through.

I would say that in central London, in non-equipment cases, a Travelcard
is superior to a car for flexibility, price and convenience.

Absolutely.
