    I'm currently here and the parking situation is a nightmare did anyone who worked here or who still works here find suitable accommodation near the office, I'd be grateful for any recommendations as it looks like I'll be here a while.

    TIA

      Lord Nelson was fantastic in the mid-nineties when I was at Mercury, managed by an Ozzy who put on some fantastic food. I hope it hasn't changed.

        Like most places get in there past 8 am and it's pot luck if you get a space

          That's what I thought so I drove in at 7.45am yesterday and still nothing free, oh well I'll just walk to the office but I'm having problems finding decent accommodation at the moment within striking distance of the office.

            Funny enough I used to work there too and remember getting the staff bus from the station. Did like it there but such a high turnover of staff

              Sky

              Just been offered a contract here for 6 months. I'm guessing contractors are bottom of the list for parking spaces? Driving in from Pangbourne (Reading) every day. Fun times!
              Aside from that, any recent reports on what it's like to work here? Guess it very much depends on team and manager...

                Contractors aren't allowed to park on site at all. Good luck finding space anywhere after 8am it's a nightmare. It does all depends on what team/department so it's very hit and miss.

                    Parking

                    Looks like you can rent spaces nearby from £4 a day. That'll do

                      There is a decent bus service from Osterley underground station. But it would take 20 minutes to cross a mile in the morning. Better be early. The place itself is not bad, I mean Osterley. No comments about Sky though. And for parking you can check if Wyke Green golf club or Grasshopper Rugby club could be of use.
