It's best not to drive in London. Rent a car outside London and the traffic fee to enter London from the suburbs is also not cheap, which also wastes time. It's better to live in the city center of London.

Thanks. Just called RuRu: two options, one is to cancel now and rebook in North Korea, or go to the store to propose an extension. See if it's possible. Well, I won't bother anymore. Propose an extension when picking up the car at the store. If not, that's it ? United Kingdom Q&A

By the way, I want to remind everyone that when we went to Stratford, we visited Shakespeare's birthplace and parked the car in a roadside parking lot, where we paid the fee at the automatic payment machine. When we returned, we found a parking ticket on the car. It turns out that some of the parking spaces in this parking lot belong to private individuals or businesses, and permission is required to park there. The £100 fine was issued by the parking company, which is really frustrating. I'm not sure if this kind of situation is mandatory to pay ? United Kingdom Q&A

By the way, do you have any violations? I receive an invoice letter from Sixt every few days, which are all administration fees for speeding violations.

This morning I went to the hotel to store my luggage. I stopped by the taxi parking line at the door to unload my luggage. The police came in less than two minutes. They gave me a ticket.
