free or very cheap weekend london Parking!!??

Hi All

Wondering if you can help.

In April on Good friday, I will be travelling down to London from Birmingham, staying at hotel in Shoreditch fri night, then sat evening watching a show in convent garden, for Girlfriends Birthday, show will finish about 11pm, maybe slightly earlier. I will then need to travel back to Birmingham that night!

now I can't do train as i can't get one back that late on Saturday night, so I was going to drive, ideally if i can get into London centre and park for free or very very cheap would be ideal, if not, i would be up for coming on tube and park a bit out, but would i be able to leave car for 48hours??

Please help suggestions welcome, thanks


Mark

    Don't know about central london, but if you are going to take the M40 into london you could park at ickenham tube station which is very close to M40. It is £1 for saturday and free parking on Sunday there.

    However it will take you about 45 mins on the tube to reach central london.

    cheers.

    From today's Evening Standard
    Town hall bosses are tonight set to approve all 5,000 pay and display parking bays in Kensington and Chelsea being made free on every Saturday in April.
    Did you really mean to put loose?
    Lose: no longer possess, not to retain, unable to find
    Loose: not firmly or tightly fixed in place
  • cheers for replies..


    that is good, bout kensington etc. Just Friday's parking, would cost..

    the tube stations, can you do 48hour parking, or is it just 24hour?

    As long as you need; definately more than 48 hours.

    The last coach from London back to Birmingham is at 1am - maybe that would be simpler and save driving
