TransportXtra: "DfT rejects ‘peak car’ theory and forecasts 40% more traffic" (It is less in London, although Brent Cross has long been designated a 'regional shopping centre', the only one in London)

TransportXtra:

"The DfT has rejected the theory of 'peak car' and is forecasting road traffic in England to grow by 43% by 2040.

"Revised road traffic forecasts for England were published last week alongside the Command Paper 'Action for Roads'. The new central forecast produced by the National Transport Model (NTM) is that traffic will grow by 43% between 2010 and 2040. Car traffic is forecast to grow 39%, light goods vehicle traffic 80%, and HGV 19%."

"Brent Cross is the only shopping destination in London
to offer free customer parking all year round!

The car parks at Brent Cross provide up to 8,000 free parking
spaces, so you can relax and enjoy the Brent Cross shopping
and dining experience in style, without worrying about your ticket
running out or how high the parking charges will be."
