London is the capital city of the United Kingdom. There are a lot of cars in the city. People go
everywhere by car, so traffic in the city centre is heavier than that in the suburbs. It is harder to find a place to
park a car than to do it in other areas. The public means of transport is cheaper than cars but the Londoners
prefer their own cars. Moreover, there are more and more tourists and visitors coming to London for sightseeing
or shopping. At weekends, the streets are noisier and busier than they are on weekdays. Now, traffic jams are
worse than ever before.
