My wife and I visited England for the first-time early this past April. Unfortunately, our experience in London ruined the vacation. I am posting this to assist anyone else that may consider visiting London, beware all the government there cares about is soaking tourists for every fee and fine they can. We rented a car at Avis Heathrow, not only were they unfriendly they failed to warn us about the hellacious fees and taxes the London socialists place on driving tourists. Avis didn’t inform us of the Congestion Tax you must pay daily to drive central London, nor would an unsuspecting tourist find out about it on their own. As a result for the two days we were in London I was fined$300 in fees and administrative cost as a thank you for spending my money in this crummy city. I appealed both citations and never heard back. Reached out again to the Congestion Tax Stasi, never heard back. To make things worse we drove through Tower Hamlets and was fined for another money grabbing scheme, a bus gate violation? This is how unfriendly London is to unsuspecting drivers, did you know at certain times you can’t drive on a ROAD? Now where I normally drive unless a road is physically blocked you can drive on it. Not in London. I appealed this too, Darren Houston Appeals Team Leader for the Borough of Tower Hamlets educated me on the need to bar cars on a road and of course denied my appeal. I posted these issues on social media and received back comments from Londoners that all of this socialist fining, taxing and burdensome rules has been driven by the liberals that have ruined the city. The rest of England was very nice, met some friendly people but London is the purest form of a Tourist "TRAP"
