Oovis Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Around the back of the Hilton, Edgeware Road. Nearest I can think of (whilst trying to feed a baby and type!) Hmm.. that's over five miles by road, so not really near. There must be somewhere else, surely? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzerman Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Try the Bayswater Road coach park, that's where I always dump mine. Got to be out by 10pm though, or it gets locked in overnight. Whoops, too late, never mind, might help someone else out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonymaslen Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 As we needed to be quick and easy.... we ended up parking at the hotel in Greenwich, getting taxi to and from venue. Can I make a suggestion that as a forum we set up a website/database for car parks in central London with height limits and size of van accepted? or if anyone knows of a place that this exists to let us know. any thoughts welcome and anyone who knows how to implement such an idea to let me know, T PS patent pending.

bruce Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Can I make a suggestion that as a forum we set up a website/database for car parks in central London with height limits and size of van accepted? You could create a page on the Blue Room wiki... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slim_mcslim Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 That sounds like a fantastic idea, probably a more valuable resource than lighting rental companies... Car parks are not so easy to look up on the t'internet. If it could be expanded to cover more annoying city centres like Manchester too, that would be great. P.

Toxopholist Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 what a cunning plan... as a discovery driver I'm always hunting for car parks with a >1.9m Heigh restriction... I will keep a note book in the car... if others are willing to add there tuppence worth it would be a mission worth undertaking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul the paranoid lampy Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I foulnd this very useful, track down the local council office, and ask for traders parking dispensation, the westminster office is located at the pound by hyde park cap park they will give you a map of zones, choose the zone and pay the money about £25-35, price varys from zone to zone. they will give you a pass to put in your windscreen and you can park in any bay all day without having to feed a meter etc only works for comercial vehicals.HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete McCrea Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 That's useful to know too. As for the Wiki Page- flipping usefull! I believe that the Earls Court car park about 5 mins from the halls would possibly be worth adding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
