Very few people in that part of London *require* a car. It is a
lifestyle choice, not a necessity for the most part.


Quite a few, like me, drive ... Cars are still required by families


If true, one wonders how anyone ever managed before. But since people
plainly did manage before, perhaps it isn't a necessity, but a lifestyle
choice.
