I lived in London and took my car with me, because as it was an EV, I could get a free parking permit for it and I was exempt from the emissions tax. Honestly, the driving experience in London is terrible. When I did a few back-and-forth trips when moving between a temporary hotel and my house, it'd take 40 minutes each way to drive 3 miles through central London. It would almost have been quicker to walk, and certainly much quicker on the underground.

I ended up only using my car a handful of times the whole year, and only when I was leaving London to visit family. I lived near the A40 expressway, so going north wasn't too problematic, but going south would usually take an hour to do the first 10 miles out of London.

If I'd stayed in London, I'd definitely have got rid of the car entirely now. There's just not much use for it when public transport is good, or when things are close enough to walk (I'd usually prefer to walk most places that were within an hour's walk).

What I do see as unfair in London now is that the costs of driving are extremely punitive if you don't have an EV, and this year they massively extended the area which is chargeable. It's simply not economically viable for most people to replace a car in these cases, as they probably don't get much use anyway, but also for any non-residents, it's also extremely easy to accidentally enter a chargeable area and then you're hit with a massive charge for the day.
