Letting agent turns down landlords with nice rentals because they are inside a Congestion Charge zone:

Lana Kova, lettings manager at Shepherd’s Bush estate agents Tauntons, said: “Our office is based outside the congestion charge zone and unfortunately we have had to give up some of our properties inside the zone in places such as Holland Park and Bayswater. “We are a small independent estate agent and can’t afford to pay the £8 congestion charge just to show properties to customers. “It is such a shame because we have had to give up nice properties in areas that we would have liked to expand into.”

We suggest investing in alternative fuel vehicles that are exempt from paying the charge, like Toyota Prius, mopeds or others in THIS list. Also, London has a good transport system, and if you’re a small agency – by all means, use it.

The Congestion Charge seems like a menace but do you know of any other clever methods how to make Londoners think green?
