Leaving a car overnight in York

[Pale Rider]

I need to leave my car in York from Friday afternoon until early evening on Saturday.

Central area preferred, so I have looked at the York City Council parking web pages which indicate a couple of car parks should be suitable.

Both are listed as open 24 hours and having CCTV.

My question is will the car likely be still there/in one piece when I return to it?

What I want to avoid is leaving the car in a place anyone with a smidgin of local knowledge would not do.

Any local intelligence appreciated.

No guarantees, of course, but the Nunnery Lane car park should be OK - and is near the station. Or there's one in Tanner Row that's multi-storey if you prefer (but pricey).

If you don't mind walking (or cycling) a little to get into town, I can suggest some residential streets where your car will be effectively invisible among the locals' cars

Thanks for the reassuring replies.

Parking the car on Maggot's drive sounds a good idea, so I will be in touch with him about that.

[QUOTE 3193821, member: 76"]I don't think ruffians and scallywags are allowed in the York city walls after 6pm so you should be fine. Although to be really sure of it's safety you could park on our drive, there is plenty of room if that helps.[/QUOTE]

You can't beat watching a group of, 'ladies,' on a hen night, as long as you keep a very safe distance.

Just park in castle car park. It'll be fine. Left mine overnight before

Thanks.

I think I will aim for the castle or Nunnery Lane mentioned earlier.

My choice will probably depend on which one I find first - my geographical grasp of the centre of York is less than firm.
