Just out of interest, following Mikes directions we get to Parliment Square
which is just near Downing street - what happens if you try and go down
there?

Do they have road blocks and stuff so only authorised personnel can enter?

If you even try and stop on the road outside you will be moved on. I
really would not even attempt to stop in a car at any point on Whitehall
and then attempt to take a photo.

you will have to check the car parking times very carefully as it is
controlled by Camden council who are not the motorists friend
Good luck and keep us informed

Isn't Lincoln's Inn Fields the place where most of the square is controlled
by Camden but one corner is by Westminster, both of whom operate different
parking restrictions?

Yes - the south side is in Westminster.

One of the other streets which confuses people is Charing Cross Road.
This is the boundary between Westminster and Camden - but what most
people don't realise is that the boundary runs not down the middle
but down the west kerb - so if you park on either side, you are in
Camden. Many people with Westminster parking permits have been caught
out by this.

(Incidentally there is a good reason for it which I know but it's
too boring to be told here)

Surely not... many of us read this group precisely for the inane
transport details...

Yes - the south side is in Westminster.

However, the restrictions seem to be the same, i.e. Mon-Sat 0830-1830, 2
hours limit. The rates are different though: Camden £4.80/hour, minimum
40p; Westminster £4.00/hour, minimum 10p (which gives you 90 seconds
parking!).
