I didn't buy a car (yet) but it has made my life considerably more inconvenient. There aren't any alternatives and if my kids were a bit younger we'd almost certainly have had to buy a car.

Both types of services just need to be regulated properly, but London's borough based framework is unfortunately not suited for this! Rules changing from one street to the next isn't a good recipe when you're trying to dislodge the dominance of privately owned cars parked cheaply by the kerbside.

Take this tiny sample and extrapolate over the city-wide picture, there must be hundreds of households who'd grudgingly made the same decision. Not nearly enough is being done to prevent private car ownership from being the path of least resistance.
