Let’s be real: it’s not cheap. Parking in London never is, is it? You could probably buy a small flat in Hull for a week’s worth of parking here.
But here’s the kicker: it’s still cheaper than the congestion charge. So you’re basically saving money by parking here. Or at least, that’s what I tell myself while handing over my wallet.
Daily rates hover around that “ouch” zone, but the long-stay option is your friend. If you’re heading into town for work, it’s the least painful option.
The Secret to the Machine
You pay at those grumpy little machines. They never have enough change, do they? Bring coins. Or a credit card. Just don’t expect a receipt—the printer always seems to be “temporarily out of paper.”
Pro tip: take a photo of your parking ticket. You will lose it. Trust me, you will lose it. And then it’s a frantic call to the operator while your train leaves without you.
