depends exactly where you were.

some roads "normal" traffic is not allowed at certain times.

With the congestion charge/parking and traffic wardens, etc. most of us avoid it now.
you used to be able to park of a night up there on single lines, but most are gone now.
Most park elsewhere just outside the charging zones and commute in.

4 hours on a meter will cost you £16 in the west end.
If you can find one.

They have removed most of the coin ones, you now pay by phone with a card at most locations.

I have tried the card ones, I think they are better.
No fafing for change, just a quick phone call and stay up to 4 hours
