London parking??

Hi all

We are visiting London tomorrow (Monday), and as I don't fancy paying £20 to
park in the centre, plus the dreaded congestion charge, I think I will park
out of town and get the tube.

We shall be coming from the west (M40 - Western Ave) and I reckon Ealing
Broadway or Common would be good for us to get to and get the tube.

What's the chances of finding some street parking around the area? or is it
resident restricted?

Thanks in anticipation

John

There is no congestion charge on Sunday, so remove the fiver from the equation!

Correct, but he did say he is travelling on Monday.

All Ealing is now residents' parking only up to a mile or so from the
stations. However, there's a car park at North Ealing tube (Piccadilly
line) £2.00 a day but there are always spaces in the extension at the
back. Turn South down Hanger Lane, left at the traffic lights into
Queen's Drive and immediately left again into Station Road.

I always park at either Hillingdon or Ruislip - costs £2 to park and a £4.70
day travel card. You miss all the traffic on the M40/A40 and its 30 mins
into Paddington.

Thanks for all the options.

I think we should find something there.

regards

John
