I wonder if this carbomb business will end up being used as an

Doubt it, just as the Tube bombings were not used as an excuse to
install airline style security in Tube stations, as it was just
impractical.

Nobody parks on-street in central London unless they have to due to
the excessive cost.


You mean you don't, because it has been priced up to the point where the
number of people who can afford it is as low as the amount of available
space.

At night it's free, and residents parking bays are always nearly full.
