So of all the people who commute into London by car (of which there is
still a significant number I understand) none of them work in the
vicinity of Charing Cross? Seems a bit unlukely to me, especially as
at least one office block along the Strand has it's own sub-surface
car park.


Of course some people commute to that area by car. However, I'd expect
most (if not all) of those people to be commuting from other parts of
London.


London has an extremely large "travel to work" area that extends well beyond
its boundaries, so yes some people who work in central London certainly
commute from other parts of London, but there is a significant number who
live well outside.


Yes. However, commuting by car to the Charing Cross area from outside
London is far too much hassle for most people.
