Public transport is pretty good in the UK, but not to the point of being able to live without a car for a large portion of the population. In London, there is the tube and driving in the city is quite dreadful, so I guess that is the exception, but I would say that the UK is pretty car-centric overall.

It’s not that bad, at least in Westminster/RBKC. Westminster has super liberal parking policies, so you can park anywhere except TFL red routes without getting your car towed. Traffic is so and so, but the stress of parking is completely eliminated.
The tube? Hot, smelly, crowded. I’d rather sit in my air conditioned car.
I wish. I occasionally have to take the tube, and it’s awful. The temperatures and humidity can get super high, turning everybody on the train into a sweaty mess.
