    Paddington has a manned carpark that's not too badly priced and outside C zone, bit of a trek to Chelsea from there though.

      If coming from the north then park somewhere "leafy" like Stanmore and get the train in.

          Drive in, park in an NCP. Give them an extra tenner to wash your car. Sorted.

          I used to do that when I lived in zone three.

            Actually get a shed of a 4x4 and you can drive happily anywhere in London. Never enjoyed the South Circular more the in my 1982 Land Rover. The lack of speed isn't an issue and everyone - including white van types - get out the way.

              Going down on the Friday Morning so C charge will apply unfortunately.

              Hotel is the Tower Hill area, right on the edge of the Zone, but just on the wrong side.

              Best I've found so far is here whch is a ten minute walk from the Hotel.

                Have you ever seen the exotic metal parked in the streets around SW3? WTF do you drive that needs secure parking for?! Do you own a special edition Veyron or something?!

                Edit: Sorry, I've just spotted you're staying in Tower Hill. Just whack it in the nearest NCP and be done with it. Many have cheap weekend parking rates.

                Actually, why are you staying in East London for the Chelsea Flower Show...?

                  Is the the place behind the police station? Looks like flipping Beirut that place does!

                    You sure about that? It's on the opposite side of the river for a start.
                    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                      I occasionally park in Leytonstone car park.
