I know this has been done before but anyone know where I can park on the outskirts of London to avoid congestion charge and get a tube in to the centre? I used to park at Western Spring Gardens, Ealing, but I think it may be metered now  |

Park on the Great West Road (A4) just before Osterley tube station. There's miles of free parking both sides of the road and a day tube ticket is only a fiver or so.
Don't park down the side roads as they are metered. Vehicles are safe as it is very busy, I've never had any problems.

I always park at Boston Manor, right near Brentfords ground! Loads of parking there!

As Alan says as well, those 2 stations are quite close to each other.

I like Osterley as getting in from the M4 and back out again is a doddle, just a couple of roundabouts and a few sets of traffic lights. PM me if you want a Streetmap reference. |

NCP right next to Hammersmith tube (Hammersmith and city line) and across the road to other tube (Piccadilly and Distict lines). Not that expensive to park either.

Get an Oyster card or the tube won't outweigh the benefit.

depends how far in you want to drive...it's good to come off by Hayes and park at Hounslow West. Takes about 30 mins to get into London on tube but can park all day for about a fiver and don't have to battle too far along the M4
