Cavendish Square, about 3 minutes walk away, although his cheapest option would be to pop up to Regents Park and hang around there, moving on when a Parking Warden appears.

Cavendish Square is convenient.
Details of tariff at :-
http://www.westminster.gov.uk/carparks/carparks.cfm
and click on 'Oxford Street'.
The car park is not in Oxford Street but in Cavendish Sq.
Don't forget to pay the ConCharge (according to the website you can pay it at Cavendish Square) and Oxford Street is buses and London licensed taxis only.
St.George's Church is in St.George's Street which is the southern exit of Hanover Square.
Monday is the best day for traffic in London (hope I don't regret saying that...).

Not so when it comes to the CONgestion charge.
It only applies to "Black cabs licensed with the Public Carriage Office (PCO)"
Go to:-
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/congest ... /6713.aspx

Now if you can leave you name and address,I'll send Livingstone's henchmen round...

He can pay at any shop or garage that does the Pay Point terminal before he gets there

Depending on the route taken, there is a good chance that you didn't actually go in the congestion zone. It is possible to go right through the centre of London without hitting the congestion zone.
