    Parker46 you are a shamless Spammer.

    Are you aware that you are breaching the Unfair Business Practices Law which makes it an offence to post on the internet purporting to be a satisfied customer when you are associated with a company.

    Have a read of this before you continue spamming

    I always do what you are planning to do. I drive down from milton keynes to Brent Cross. I then park in a residential street just down the road from the tube station. Costs me about £6 for the tube all day and don't need to worry about spending £7 an hour on parking.

    I love going to London for work though. We have an office in the BDC in Islington and the parking costs £6.90 an hour. I'm normally there for about 6 hours. £41 on parking, all paid for by work :p

    You love driving from MK to Islington? What's the appeal?

    Shoot down the M11 then down the A12 towards Blackwall tunnel and when you see Burger King, Next and B&Q on the right, take the left hand lane. On the left you will see the Olympic Village taking shape. Follow the road all the way down through two sets of traffic lights. You will see a local shop on the left and shortly after you will have to turn right.

    Go under the birdges and you will see a circular white building right in front of you, turn bear left keeping the park (Victoria Park) on the left and find anywhere you like to park up there for free, just keep out of the disabled bays and avoid carparks as they're private.

    You should easily find a 388 bus stop and you will be able to take this to Liverpool street station. Coming back, get off at "Kenton Road" and walk up Gascoyne road to get back to your car.

    Well, dacouch is ever so wrong. I have been a happy customer of the parking company for over 6months for my parking space in the city near my workplace. What I was doing was recommending a possible option for someone to save some money, that is the whole point of this site!
