Parking in London Boroughs is a nightmare as each borough has different rules as I found out to my cost last week. 50 quid fine, the warden pounced on my bike within 2 min of me parking in a P&D. I'm sure he was waiting in a bush. I asked him where I could park in his borough and I couldnt understand him - didnt even sound like english to me. If hes gonna give me a ticket he can at least speak to me in the common tounge. I slotted in a gap between two cars just big enough for my bike, parked perpendicular to the pavement, yet i still get a fine as if i was a full sized car
This is usefull and shows all the differences:
