The Green School Runs (GSR) charity is calling for car park operators around Hampstead to follow the O2 Centre's lead and back "park-and-stride" schemes aimed at reducing rush hour traffic.
The Hampstead-based charity launched a scheme from the car park of the O2 Centre with the support of LandSec, which runs the centre, in September.
Under the scheme, the operator offers free spaces, for parents who sign up, at school-run times.
