parking in tube stations?

userman

hello!
is there free and reliable (= you can surely find a space after 5pm) parking in any tube station?
I am basically interested in Canada Water, Bermonsday and such, but general info for any tube station that comes in your mind, would be appreciated
thanks!

Browntoa

none of those you mention have free parking

userman

please note that when I mention free parking, it can be in the near streets, not necessarily organized parking

do you know any other that have 100% parking availability after 5pm?
zones 1-3

The local streets to a tube station in the inner zones tend to have residents and / or pay parking to stop commuters taking all the spaces.

Where are you heading to and from where are you coming?

userman

my destination is Bloomsbury, and I research areas to find a place to rent, where I will combine good living quality and reasonable rent

so I plan to get by car to a tube station

houses that are far from tube stations are less expensive

Not a tube station, but Elverson Road DLR station (Zone 2) has unrestricted parking on nearby streets. Some bays are completely unrestricted, while others are restricted around midday to deter people from parking there all day.

The only one I know is Colliers Wood, which is a couple of minutes walk from a Sainsburys with a huge free carpark.

any info for Walthamstow Central?

Surely you'll have problems driving down the escalators even if they do allow parking in the station?

ISTR that there is free parking on the rails at the bottom.

Only problem is that you have to move the car every few minutes

The only tube station I know where I have exploited free parking is Hounslow East. The road alongside is on-street pay and display which ends at 6pm and is free all day Sunday. There aren't many spaces, but they all tend to be empty approaching 6pm as all the [STRIKE]sheep[/STRIKE] local motorists tend to follow one another into the large [STRIKE]cowboy[/STRIKE] PPC owned car park off that street that charges 24 hours a day. Where's Martin Lewis when you need him? :money:
