Earls Court Road is pretty bad a lot of the time, if the zone will
extend that far.


Earls Court Road, south of Pembroke Road, will be outside the extended
zone. That means that traffic can travel from the A40 Westway down
through Earls Court and over Battersea Bridge without charge. Should
make Earls Court Road even worse!


Mind you, that's what everyone said about the current perimeter roads
like Edgware Road.
