Vespa & LONDON: share your thoughts!

Hey monkeys!

I am seriously thinking of buying a Vespa to get to work or around London. After having cycled to work for a year and a half, I want to make the upgrade

The commute is not very long, and moreover moving with Vespa could allow me to - when changing home - pick one that is not necessarily very close to the tube station, thus saving for the rent

London is not as rainy as some people think, so in the winter and in the worst case scenario considering a 5-day working week I will use it, let's say 3

Insurance is also not bad if you have a safe place to park it

The downside is that Vespas in London are very easy to steal, hence need to buy good and resistant lockers

Thoughts? How many of you guys have it or have experience?
