Those in London do. In fact some don't have their own parking, and you need to use public car parks.

However, I have not paid for parking for any near Lego Land, Chessington or Thorpe Park.

why do you have the premier annual pass for the free parking, or do u know free places to park to avoid the theme park costs. i havent upgraded my pass yet as i wasnt sure if it justified itself just for car parking.

?? are you talking about for Travelodge? Don't know anything about their premier annual pass for parking.

However, if you are talking about the theme parks (none of which are in London), yes they do charge for parking. The parking pass must be new, as it was not offered when I had my merlin passes (about 3 years ago). You will need to go on the theme parks websites to see how much parking costs now, and weigh that up against what the premier parking pass would cost to assess whether it would be worth your while to get one or not.

You asked about parking at Travelodges in London, and my previous answer was in response to that question.

yes my question was about the parking while staying near to london. All the travel lodges i have looked at that are near to these them parks seem to only have payable or public carparks. which places have you stayed with free parking.

There is a 50% off offer listed below for Copthorne Hotels that is on a post below this and there is a 4 star one in Slough which is 10 minutes from Windsor and about 25 mins to Thorpe Park, 30 minutes to Chessington. Just randomly checked 6-8 April and it is £49 for a family room with 2 double beds per night. Also some good rates for school hols e.g. 24-26 Aug £40.20 per family room per night or for Halloween 30-1 Nov £34.20 per night.

Here is the Tripadvisor link for reviews:

It is worth booking the cafe breakfast online as you get a discount and kids eat free. It is a good buffet type one of bacon, sausages, beans, tomatoes, eggs, toast and spreads, cereals, muffins, fruit, yoghurts, tea, coffeee and juices so sets you up for the day.
