Tiling in Central London - advice please

[Leatherface]

Chaps have a shop re-fit to tile in Central London in a couple of weeks - Covent Garden, staying in digs.
Any guys who have tiled in Central London please tell me - how do you go on with parking and unloading ?
How does the conjestion charge work ?
Anyone recommend a good cheap sat nav ? As I will need one as I am doing more and more tiling out of my area !!

Leatherface - coming to a town near you soon !!!!

Hello mate, not sure on congestion charge as I've always avoided it. If you buy a cheep sat nav it will be a cheep sat nav. I've got a TomTom and it's spot on everytime, I think halfords have them on offer at the moment. Good luck!

Thanks - what about parking and unloading ?
Did a job in Cheltenham 2 weeks ago, nowhere to park except for unloading, nearest car park was 10 mins walk away.
Spoke to a copper who radioed traffic control and ok'd me parking on double yellows. Traffic wardens still gave me a ticket.
I hate traffic wardens, scum of the earth.

drop your tools off then park parking will cost you at least £30 + best get on the tube and leave your van at your digs wont be able to park on any lines if you get a tube get a oyster card £3 fares are then half price conjestion charge £8 a day starts a 7am live 30 mins away its a f*****g nightmare Pete
