@shzl400 - two cars is not necessarily a problem as

However, it should be noted that 'Car Free Developments' (such as Forest Hill Central) have no rights to any permits; their drivers will be forced to use the same facilities as commuter traffic.

I was recently told that the reason that charges were introduced for the Perry Vale car park was that locals complained they could never park there... It appears that you cannot please all the people. Personally, I would like to keep a few spaces free for short term parking so that people can pick up their mail from the sorting office and then set the charges at a level which garnered revenue for Lewisham and got the commuters into the car park.

I'm guessing that some commuters who used to go to Forest Hill now go to Honor Oak Park as they can get on the trains.
