Advice requested ref underground near Heathrow

Inforapennyinforapound

We are staying at a Hotel about 2 miles from Heathrow soon.The nearest underground station is at Heathrow airport.

This being the case i would like to find an underground station with good parking facilities as near as possible to Heathrow so i can park there.(I am assuming that the Airport underground does not have car parking facilities?)

Thank you.

Not being funny, but have you tried looking at a map?

Multimap may help.

There is a list of tube stations with parking on the Transport for London website.

No, Heathrow Central tube station does not have car park.

Hounslow West and Hatton Cross tube stations which are both close to Heathrow both have car parks.

Hatton Cross has a small car park which gets quite full.Hounslow West has a bigger car park and there always seems to be spaces.

Hope that helps.

you could park at heathrow? is your hotel on the hotel-hoppa bus route?

Are you actually going away from heathrow or is it just the hotel trip?

Most undergroudn stations with car parks are pay & Displays. Factor that in plus return tube fare and it may actually be better off including convenience to park at the hotel if they have it or even a neighbouring hotel that offer a daily rate?

Why not leave your car at the hotel and use the bus? Parking at Hatton Cross and Hounslow West can work out expensive if you are planning to park all day (they want to discourage commuters). If you have an Oyster Card the bus fare will be about £1.20 each way each and these can be bought for £3.00 and topped up to the amount you need and are valid on the tube and most overground suburban trains. Two return trips by bus and tube to the city centre will be cheaper than either travel cards or paying for each trip seperately.

Yes,following my question i did do some research.Found the travel for London website and found parking.The Hotel is not too near a tube station and we want to go into London over the weekend.

We could catch a 'hoppa' bus,or whatever its called but this is £4.00 each one way to get to Heathrow tube,Therefore it works out cheaper to take the car to a tube station with parking i.e Hounslow West(which is free parking on Saturdays)

So it appears i have answered my ownm question!

But,hey,isnt the idea of this forum to 'pick brains' of locals perhaps?

As i have said before why do we have a forum if we all just 'Google' everything.

Lets share our knowledge and not reply with 'have you googled it mate?' or such like.

Thanks to all for replys.
