London Mayor Ken Livingstone, in San Francisco this week for the United Nations' World Environment Day conference, said congestion charging zones, as they're known in his city, have a proven track record since he introduced them two years ago.He's lying. Transport in London is so thoroughly dismal it was one of the factors that pushed me out of living there altogether.
Red Ken is a certifiable lunatic. Under no circumstances listen to him.

A little more traffic on New Bond street might save me some money next trip. My wife hit Asprey's and lit up the sales staff's smiles while torching my wallet! Put some more traffic there and perhaps I'll have some time to douse the flames in between Tiffany's and Asprey's...
Just kidding. Great city. Lousy mayor. Churchill's War Rooms are a particular favorite.

One of the busiest streets, Oxford Street, in some places is two lanes......NO fee can make that st. go faster.
