You would think.

However when local knowledge becomes regional knowledge residents parking follows....

You mean it's local parking for local people?

Isn't that the point of having parking spaces - so that people can park in them?

..so the parking spaces will be gone..

[SueEllen]

Can you all edit your posts and remove your links?

Remember this forum is found through Google and so the parking spaces will be gone or get residents asking for parking permits/extended parking hours.

Heading down to London for the weekend

SM has a pink mini.

I'm sure you can squeeze it in here....

You can park on my driveway if you like? I'll have a word with the guards if I remember, that way you won't get shot. Just tell them Phil said it was ok.

Go to the Barnes side of Hammersmith bridge and park around Lonsdale road B350 then walk across the bridge to Hammersmith tube:

Parking is only enforced between 10-12 am on weekdays so it's a good one for during the week as well.

*Edit* - not secure but is free and in a posh area

Unless time is at a premium, if my eventual destination is to the west of London, I sometimes park at this always-free location:

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.41...7i13312!8i6656

Which has the benefit of not obviously getting in the way of local residents, and generally having availability.

Then walk 300 meters to the station (Upper Halliford), and catch the (direct but slow) train into London Waterloo.

Upon returning by train to my car, the M3 is close by, for access to all destinations to the west.

Just be aware Waterloo has lots of engineering works during the month of August. Therefore lots of trains will not run and stations along the route to Waterloo will be closed.

Heading down to London for the weekend, usually go by train but need to head to Somerset afterwards, what are secure parking options like for Friday lunchtime to Sunday afternoon?

There is a Valet Parking sachem; no need to leave keys.

I often use the car park underneath Bloomsbury Square: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/...28!4d-0.123328 https://secure-parking.co.uk/find-pa...e-car-parking/

It's a bit pricey compared to places like NCP, but it's got very good security and you can get a discount by booking in advance. The NCP ones around there are notorious for smashed windows, due to the area's population of junkies.

It also takes the form of a massive DNA-like double helix plunging deep into the ground, so it's geeky AF

But it's only convenient for me because I often stay around Holborn when I'm down there. If you're nowhere near there, it won't be much good for you

What I do quite a lot is park my pride and and joy in either of the Westfield shopping centres.

Its no more than a tenner a day and both of them are on the central line
