Kirsty and I and a couple of mates want to go into town (in my motor) for the New Years Celebrations.

One of the friends is "less able" but doesn't have a blue badge - hence taking the car.

Is parking up there gunna be alright on new years eve or not?

I've already found out theres no congestion charge...

no chance of parking near the embankment, i think you'll struggle any where near the bridges....

look for some back streets by oxo tower etc...

Borrow someone's blue badge. My mate took his Grandads a few months ago and ever since it's been easy parking

They are looking to enforce new rules about who used the blue badge, so be careful. .

Might not then

It's sooo unfair, my mate is 18 and he can barely walk at the moment (temporary illness), yet RBWM won't issue him one becuase he's 18.

Normal nights round embankment/westminster aint too bad as you can park on the yellow lines.

they've got parking suspension signs and road diversion signs around here ready for tomorrow by the looks of it though.
