Hi Bonnie,

Take a look at:

http://www3.westminster.gov.uk/masterpark/

Don't forget that if you're travelling into central London during the week you'll unfortunately be liable for congestion charge.

Why not call UCH to ask their advice too.

Try this site too: Parking in Camden (http://www.camden.gov.uk/ccm/navigation/transport-and-streets/parking/)

Parking on-street is generally easier north of the Euston Road than it is on the south side, but still NOT recommended for a full day's parking on a week-day. As already stated, the congestion charge will be payable too.

You may be better off getting there by public transport and then arranging for a friend or a taxi to come and pick you up again at the end of the day.

Euston Road is right on the edge of the congestion zone (and also mostly in Camden rather than Westminster) so you may well be OK; it all depends on how close you need to get. Both Mastrparks are inside the zone though.
Euro Car Parks appear to have one at 367 Euston Road which is close. Call them on
020 7388 9777 to check.

Congestion charge may not be payable. It's only due between 7am and 6:30pm. Assuming the car is in a car park during those hours you'll be fine.
Where are you travelling in from?

If your daughter is well enough, it would probably be cheaper to take the train as parking in central London is incredibly expensive.

£4 an hour (2003 prices - not sure if its more expensive now), on-street parking in Mayfair, Piccadilly, and other 'West End' parts of City of Westminster. Hella expensive. :(

I think on-street parking has a max limit of 2-4 hours (varies from place to place), so you have to move to another street or get a ticket from the parking attendants.

NCP have the prices on their website.

Good info, but the OP was looking for long-stay parking in Camden. Euro Car Parks are the nearest.
Annoyingly there used to be a car park (NCP) on a derelict site immediately adjacent to UCH. But they started to develop the site and closed it.

I just parked near Richmond station today in the Old Deer Park parking lot and it is only 7 pounds for the day. Then you just take the tube in.
