Travelling up to London for the theatre with the Mrs going shopping in the day timein a few weeks time (leaving credit card at home though  ) I want to drive up by car as it is easier, does anyone know any cheapish and decent car parks to park up in for the day until late evening outside of the city so I can then just jump on a tube and go where we like. We usually travel up and park at heathrow but that is awkward and a bit of a trek on the tube, although it only costs something like £9 for a day. Any recomendations ? |

Isn't there a big car park under Hyde Park? I think that's outside of the congestion charging area as well. Edit: Actually, that's slap bang in the middle. I really ought to read things more carefully.  |

Or even staines. Not underground, but only £6 on the train to victoria iirc. And think you can get away with free parking on the streets nearby.

Drive right into Hammersmith and park in the car park there. It's about £5 for all evening and less than 5 mins walk from Hammersmith tube station. Be about another £5 on the tube to go anywhere in central London.

Park in Ealing on the street... Ealing Broadway being the nearest tube, and about 5 mins from where you'll leave your car.

Whoooooooooooah be careful with Ealing. Only 1 or 2 streets are not zoned and free.
Western gardens is free, near Gunnersbury Avenue near Ealing Common Station.

Harrow would be a good bet. Rayners Lane's got a decent size car park 200 odd spaces as has South Harrow. I don't think it'll be more than £3 during the week and less than that at the weekend. Off the M4 at Junction 3, straight up the Parkway (A312) to the Target roundabout, (or you can get there straight up the A40 if your one of our unfortunate Oxfordshire dwelling friends), across that into Northolt, left at the roundabout onto Alexandra Ave (A409something) keep going 'til you see the Rayners Lane Tube sign and the car park sign on the left. Get's you on the Metopolitan Line |
