24/7 free parking near-ish to Holloway Rd tube?

Hi all.

I am currently living in Leytonstone, where there is free 24/7 parking just up the road from me so I park there and walk to my house.

But I am moving to Holloway just by the Holloway Rd tube station tomorrow and am not sure what to do about parking as I can not find any 24/7 free parking like in Leytonstone.

The obveous answer would be to puechase a parking permit, but in order to get one, the car has to be registered to the new address and have no unpaid parking fines... of which, I have many.

So, temporarily, I am planning on keeping my car in a 24/7 free parking spot and getting a tube from there to Holloway Rd.

My question is - does anybody know of anywhere that would be most convenient to do this? Ideally, it would be a place within walking distance from a tube station that is on the Piccadilly Line and as close to Holloway Rd as possible.

I would also appreciate any alternative suggestions that anyone may have.

Many thanks, Trevor

    I'm surprised that nobody else has said it yet but let me be the first - why not pay the fines and park legally in future?

    I am personally more surprised that nobody, including you, has helped.

    Regarding paying the fines, I fully intend to. I owe money to various places hence joining this site to try and get out of debt.

    All I was asking for was advice on a temporary parking solution until I get myself sorted.
