Calling Londoners -parking off the M4

[threebikesmcginty]

It's worthwhile noting that free zebra parking is available on most streets in London.

An old trick, which may or may not still work, is park at one of the airport hotels, get their courtesy bus to a terminal, and then jump on the tube.

They'll be more than wise to this. Even if you go to a meeting, you need to take a ticket and reclaim or give your reg

I'm no use on the parking front but here's a preview of what to expect:

You can laugh, I can remember London like that!

I usually use Slough station car park. Just off the M4, fast train to Paddington. Bosh. Sorted.

[QUOTE 2886181, member: 45"]So, I've discovered parkatmyhouse.com. What's the tube like into London from Uxbridge? Frequency and journey time?[/quote]

Piccadilly Line or The Metropolitan lines, every 10 minutes on Friday, Uxbridge to Baker street, 35 mins. Saturday though there is engineering work at Ruislip so the trains will not be working running through. The Piccadilly Line from South Harrow and the Met. from Harrow on the Hill. Replacement buses will run from those stations to Uxbridge every few minutes.

I live just outside Uxbridge, it's not a bad route into London, but the Langley - Paddington - tube lines will be quicker. I wish i could offer you parking at my house, but alas we have 3 cars on our driveway

I've got a mate who lives in West Drayton, close to M4, close to overground, plenty of free on street parking around there. There are buses to airport etc if tube a must (although it takes about a week from Heathrow to the centre)

Can change onto the District line at many spots along the Piccadilly, just do it at a station Check TFL for weekend closure nonsense

It closes for improvement works and upgrade works. Fairly important me thinks.

There is an ncp car park jjust across from Hammersmith which is reasonable.

And this is why I said to check

Since when has an NCP carpark ever been reasonable Especially for weekday parking! Looks to be £20-30 a day

NCP don't seem to have a carpark now in Hammersmith itself

If you don't mind a 5 to 10 minute walk I can suggest Kew Green, which is as safe as anywhere in London, no controlled parking, with plenty of spaces usually and right at the end of M4. An added bonus is if you walk to Kew Gardens tube station (District Line, only zone 3, perfect for Tower Bridge) via Kew Road you will walk past Newens which is frozen in time in c1920 (they don't even have an electronic cash register) and serves the best handmade chicken pie I have ever tasted anywhere (but they don't open in the evenings).

Kew Gardens one of our nicer stations.
