London is the capital city of the United Kingdom. There are a lot of cars in the
city. People go everywhere by car, so traffic in the city centre is heavier than that in
the suburbs. It is harder to find a place to park a car than to do it in other areas. The
public means of transport is cheaper than cars but the Londoners prefer their own
cars. Moreover, there are more and more tourists and visitors coming to London for

on weekdays. Now, traffic jams are worse than ever before.
Although the living cost in the suburbs and the countryside is cheaper than that
