I'm a bit confused as to why Jimmy Fairly on the Kings Road doesn't work - if you live in West London, and you want to avoid public transport (which us empty most of the time anyway) could you not walk or cycle?

Because it's Central London, not West London. It's three hours of walking and 1.5 hours of cycling to there

Or you could just pay for a test locally.

Indeed. But this forum is called MoneySAVINGexpert, not MoneyWASTINGexpert

Personally I'm not convinced paying for an eye test is moneywasting. Especially as it's not just about whether you need glasses or not, but, more importantly, the health of your eyes.
