Parking near Royal Albert Hall

Hi,can anyone recommend cheapish parking near the Royal Albert Hall ? We are going on Wednesday evening.

There are several parking meters around the Hall, if you get there early (think between 5 and 6), you will possibly catch a space that way. There are a bank of spaces at the rear of the hall, and in both side roads - I've always managed to find a spot. Be careful, some of them are "Residents Only" one side, meters on the other. I don't know about "cheap", west end meters are usually .20p for 7 1/2 minutes. And I think it falls into the West London congestion charge area too. Think it's chargeable up to 6.30.
There is parking offered by the RAH, bookable in advance. I've done that before.

One thing to be wary of is if you park on Queen's Gate (2 streets away from the RAH) the borough boundary between Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea runs down the middle of the road. So be careful that you check a parking regs sign on the same side of the road as you park on. If that makes sense...

Tell me about it! Parking meters were broken on the side I parked on, so I bought a ticket from one in the middle of the road - obviously not thinking to check if it was in the same borough. You guessed it - came out after the concert to find my car had been towed away!!
