It predates the congestion charge by quite a few years. What little parking 
is in Canary Wharf is expensive (no street parking) so public transport is 
the only choice for the vast majority of people. Many complaints when it 
first started to get busy as most people had been in the City or West End of 
London so now had to travel further and had less distractions at lunch time. 
Also, it took quite a few years for the area to pick up, there were these 
empty two lane roads going further east, they were fun in the early hours. 
The old way of the area (top of Isle of Dogs, Limehouse) have gone, it used 
to be an interesting mix but was all closing down or going up market/yuppie 
last time I was there.

John knows the place alright Ric, George and Jim. It is art,
and maybe the result of the congestion charge; fancy that; one car on
the roundabout at rush hour ...
I hadn't seen so few private cars in main London since I first drove
there in 1976 ...
Fortunately London now has an excellent public transportation system.
Thanks for looking
Amiti?s
