Hammersmith/Congestion Charge question
 

Hi,

Apologies if this sounds dumb but I don't know London too well from a
drivers point of view.

I'm about to head out to London for a gig at the Hammersmith Apollo
tonight. I plan to park in a nearby car park. If I head into London
from the M1 and go straight there, will I have to pay the congestion
charge?

Thanks

Dene

No reasonable route from the M1 to Hammersmith would take you through the
charge area. Look out for signs though.

The easiest route to avoid getting lost would be the M1, north
circular, A4, which avoids the CC by a long way.

Indeed, though by far the best route for someone confident enough, or
with a passenger confident enough to navigate with an A-Z, would be off
the North Circular at Neasden, down Neasden Lane, and through Harlesden,
White City and Shepherd's Bush.

Define "straight". You can certainly get to Hammersmith from the M1 without
going through Central London, assuming KL hasn't extended the Congestion
Charge
to include the M4 corridor to Wales, yet.

Define "tonight". The CC ends at about 18:30 or 19:00 or so (unless you
plan on staying there until tomorrow morning when it starts again)

Define "idiot". Define "useless reply".

My dictionary has:

idiot - noun. mentally deficient person, stupid person, person who
gives useless reply.

useless reply - unhelpful response (as might be given by an odiot.
