Minibus parking in central london

Hi Folks,

I haven't been able to get very far with this, so I'm hoping someone here with local knowledge can help.

I play in an amateur orchestra in Glasgow, and we're playing a festival at the Royal Academy of Music on Marlyebone rd, sunday evening April 1st.
We're going to take down a couple of minibuses for players and instruments, but we don't know where we can park them. We'd arrive about 4pm, and leave by9pm.

Although the RAM have a drop-off point, they don't have a car park we can use.

Multi-story car parks are obviously no use with a bus. Is there on-street parking in that area, or anything else that may be suitable? Are there likely to be spaces on a sunday evening, and how much would it cost?

Thanks,

Gaz

    Why don't you put the postcode into Google Street View and have a virtual look around? Maybe the on-street restrictions end in the evening.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    The area to the south of the Marylebone Road is covered by the City of Westminster and you should be able to park the minibuses on single yellow lines on a Sunday evening at the times you want to park.

    The area to the north of Marylebone Road is covered by the London Borough of Camden and there should also be no restrictions on single yellow lines on a Sunday evening.

    The streets behind the academy are York Terrace East and York Terrace West and behind that is the outer circle of Regents Park.

    If anyone can use the satellite view on Google they might be able to see what the parking restrictions are on these streets.
