Never attempt to park in Brixton. They don't want you to go there in your car. The ticket machines never work and they will sue you to death if you try and fight the cause. 3 years of investigation cost me nearly £2000 and this is the conclusion I've come to. Fair enough, but they might put up a sign saying 'Cars not welcome' rather than parking bays everywhere that they really don't want you to use. 4 months ago via web

Fined simply for being slightly over one of the lines of the bay, even though this had been necessary due to other cars being too tightly parked. 4 months ago via web
