Are you allowed to drive in London?

I'm moving to Chiswick soon and I wanted to know would I be able to drive my Ford around?

Added (1). without paying extra for congestion charges!

You will have to pay congestion charges to drive into the central London area on weekdays and parking is scarce and expensive. Chiswick however is outside the congestion charge zone. Driving in London is rather a waste of time generally because of congestion and lack of parking. There's a fabulous public transport network made up of the Underground, buses, trains, light rail and trams. Get yourself an Oyster card and get travelling

You can drive it in Chiswick, but if you drive into the centre on a weekday in business hours (no charges at weekends and evenings), you will pay charges. Google "London congestion zone" for a map and details.

You will have to pay the same as everybody else. Of course.

Yes, but it is easier to take the Tube

Nope, flying only, or skipping, but no driving

LOL of course you can! The congestion charge zone is quite small and you can drive around Chiswick and anywhere else locally without paying. Driving inside the congestion charge zone (which only operates during normal working hours on weekdays) is just something I refuse to do during the hours they charge. Finding somewhere to park that doesn't cost a fortune is the real problem. It's far quicker and less frustrating to use the excellent public transport.

I bet before too long you'll fall into the London way of living, get an Oystercard and travel around using that. Buses are VERY frequent, the tube isn't far away (maybe from Chiswick Park or Turnham Green), and unless you need the car to carry something big, it's far easier to use those. After a lot of negotiating, Oyster even works on National Rail inside Greater London - so London truly is your oyster with it.

I live in Ruislip and love my Oystercard. To go to work in central London, it's by tube and that takes about an hour but if I drove (assuming there would be somewhere to park, which there isn't) it would take twice as long. It's a real no-brainer. I've even done an Open University degree just for something to do on the train. I have a car, but it gets used for other things, like more local trips or going OUT of London.

Of course you can drive it, but if you drive into central London you will have to pay the congestion charge.
Your biggest problem will be parking the car.

You have to pay 100% extra for driving a Ford.

Everyone has given you good answers; the only point remaining is how easy it will be to park it where you live. Off-street parking? Wonderful. On-street parking will involve first getting a permit from your local authority, easy enough, and then, every time you come home, looking for a space. That all depends on the exact road/area you are living in - some places are full of car-owners all in competition for a space, other places are easier. It's worth finding that out.

You need good driving skill also permits

Yes… But I wouldn't touch such a place with a ten foot pole with my car!
