I know they moved it out to the 406 on the A13, didn’t know where else. I think it’s worth double checking anyway as it could be a nasty surprise, depending where he stays it’s easy enough to stray into these zones on the way to the job and then the man’s done his bollocks for the day.

No the congestion zone aint as big as that mate it dont go to the a406/North Circ only as far as Tower Bridge our side and Park Lane/Hyde Park to the west. Barnes is miles past Hyde Park Edited December 6, 2021 by gnasher16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
