Plan your parking in advance, too. Lots of council-run car parks are free on bank holidays, but private ones might still charge. Always read the signs. It sounds boring, but it’s the boring stuff that keeps the fun times fun.
And if you do get stuck in a tiny bit of traffic near Oxford Street, just put on some cheesy Christmas music and smile. You’re not paying the charge. That’s a victory worth singing off-key about.
So go ahead. Load up the car. Grab the family or your mates. Enjoy the crispy December air on the other side of your windscreen. Boxing Day is your free pass to the city. Drive happy, and leave the worries at home.
