Title: Travelling to and across London Post by: StfcRusty on Monday, November 9, 2015, 21:34:57 Can anyone advise of a good place to park (ideally free) on the outskirts of London midweek which is convenient for the tube? I used to park in Chiswick right by Gunnersbury tube station but last time I tried it was now a max of 3 hours on-street parking.
Also, last time I went, the one day travel pass had become really expensive. Is it worth buying an Oyster card? I'll be travelling around a bit in Zone 1 and 2. Any advice gratefully received - cheers. Title: Re: Travelling to and across London Post by: Talk Talk on Monday, November 9, 2015, 21:39:18 On the Great West Road (A4) by Osterley tube station. It's free parking on the main road. Depending on what time you get there you might have to walk a bit. Tube is half an hour into central London and not too expensive.
Easy from the M4. And yes, get an Oyster card. https://goo.gl/maps/PYyMByVU7CR2 (https://goo.gl/maps/PYyMByVU7CR2) Title: Re: Travelling to and across London Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, November 9, 2015, 21:42:23 If you've got a contactless credit/debit card you don't need an Oyster. The same daily caps apply.

Loads of free on road parking around there, I do it two or three times a month. Will be parked up there on Wednesday..

Title: Re: Travelling to and across London Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, November 10, 2015, 07:33:03 Download Citymapper, it's a bloody good app that finds you buses and tells you where it's quicker to walk.
And you can use a contactless card as an oyster on tube and bus now, which is very useful. Title: Re: Travelling to and across London Post by: THE FLASH on Tuesday, November 10, 2015, 07:40:45 I have used Lysander Road at West Ruislip station before....trek into town though...45 mins.
