Parking near the Albert Hall

blindman

Hi

I'm going to the Rodger Hodsgon gig at the Albert Hall Tuesday 9th October at 20:00.

Is there likely to be free on street parking around the hall at about 19:00?

I used to park a few years back on Exhibition road as the meters were only up to 18:00

Just wondered if it was the same.

If all else fails I'll pay :eek: the £7.50 fro the Albert Hall parking.

We parked just inside Hyde Park by the tennis club. It was pay & display but I think you only paid up to 6pm.

Is this safe at night??

It was lit and lots of people parked there! Alot better than some of the side streets which can be a bit narrow.

I can't see a parking place near the tennis courts.

Do you mean the P near Diana's memorial?

I hope that this works!



We parked by Alexandra gate by the bowling green & tennis courts (top right of picture).

That's the link I put in my last post (doesn't work !).

As I said it doesn't show any parking.

However If you've been there, then obviously there is parking.

Off tomorrow.

Hope that you find it and have a fab time!

I've edited the link so it works now.

Anybody have any idea if I can drive through Hyde Park on West carriage drive and then Exhibition road?

The answer to my question is YES.

I parked on S Carriage drive road adjacent to the Tennis courts as per kaggy's info :T

Pay and display until 18:30. Must leave the park by midnight.
Got there at 18:25 very few cars.
Left at 22:35 more cars but not exactly packed.

Afterwards I drove down S Carriage drive (no traffic) thus avoiding Knightsbridge and joined Park lane at Hyde Park corner.

(A right turn from S Carriage drive to retrace my steps is not possible)
Useful tip.

Use Google maps Satellite to get a birds eye view of parking places and road markings to determine if one way streets etc.

Rodger Hodgson (AKA Supertramp) was very good.
