Don't put words in my mouth. I said it was difficult, and would be EXTREMELY SO, if everyone travelled to CENTRAL London by car. Greater London is something else entirely, and not at all served well by the train/underground networks. Which is why I kept emphasising CENTRAL London.

So twice the number come in by train/underground, than come in by car. And the roads can't cope as it is. Where would they put all these extra car drivers, if the train services no longer existed?
The questions that I'd want answered are, what are the figures for those who can travel in by train, which is rather more significant. Discovering that those who can't travel by train, choose not to, is unilluminating.
Also where most of those car drivers are going would be interesting.
