My friends and I drove to Oxford for a day on our way to Straford Upon Avon. Well, the whole of afternoon was spent on finding a parking place. The first mistake that we made was to drive into the town centre right into a no-car zone where only buses and coaches are allowed. The signs are misleading and not easily seen. By the time I realised it, I was driving right in notorious roundabout in the city centre. I was nearly booked by a traffic warden...I'm still not sure if I am booked for going into the no-car zone cos' I have not received any ticket yet...Well, my advice is: don't drive into Oxford town centre. It is too time-consuming to find a parking place..
