    Bushey station car park was half empty when I was there last Saturday morning. No idea what it costs though.

    Bushey train station has 58 parking spaces with a daily parking rate of £4.50. This information can be obtained from the national rail web site.

    Another option is to drive to Rickmansworth and park in the Long Island Hotel car park (quite cheap), go over the road to Ricky tube station. Then easy access to the M25 on the way home.

    TBH, If you are driving to a station from the hotel anyway, I'd go to Watford Junction. It's not that much further than Bushey by car (I can drive from Bushey to Watford Junction in around 10 mins), especially if you go the back route (via Orphanage road) to avoid the ring road; there's plenty of parking (though it's not cheap) and pretty much all the trains stop there - some of the fast trains miss out smaller stations like Bushey, which can be annoying on the way back. You should be able to buy an oyster card at the junction, but give yourself plenty of time as they aren't good about having enough windows open on busy days.

    I wouldn't bother with the Met line station either, it doesn't have decent parking and the tube stops running earlier than the overground - again an issue if you want to stay and celebrate afterwards!
    Trust me - I'm NOT a doctor!
