Traveling from the East into London

Posts: 301 Forumite
Hello!
I am going to travel from the East (Essex) into London every day in the morning and returning in the afternoon.
Is there any place that I can always park my car and then get to the station and get into London?
That station must be cheap to get into London from, eg £6 return or less and it must have always some parking spaces (even if I have to walk 5-10min).
Any ideas??

You need to narrow it down a bit, Essex is a very big county.
Going by the description given so far, though, Canary Wharf would fit the bill, under £6 a day tube ticket into the centre, and huge numbers of spaces available.0 -

Are you sure there are huge number of FREE parking spaces available in Canary Wharf?
I think it has to be alot eastern, outer London, getting to canary wharf by car can be a nightmare.0 -

I thin you are being an optimist expecting free parking at or near any London Station. Loughton has a big car park and spaces but is £5.70 per day. Street parking surrounding it as a 2-3p.m. restriction to stop all day commuting.0

I can consider £2-3 per day!0

Then you are going to be disappointed.I can consider £2-3 per day!
What job requires you to commute into central London but pays so little that you cannot afford the transport?
I suggest selling the car, buying a scooter, and coming in the whole,way on that, as there. Is plenty of free bike parking available.0 -
How about a bit more train and a folding bicycle?0

No, I cannot cycle unfortunately due to health issue.
Can you tell me please the station with always available cheapest possible parking along the c2c line or the District line?0 -
Here's an idea... why don't you look at all the possible stations' parking facilities, choose a few appropriate stations and ask if anyone has knowledge about how full they get?Can you tell me please the station with always available cheapest possible parking along the c2c line or the District line?
TfL station parking is detailed here:
All National Rail station facilities are available here:0 -
Upminster is £34 per week, or £8.40 per day, so well over your budget.No, I cannot cycle unfortunately due to health issue.
Can you tell me please the station with always available cheapest possible parking along the c2c line or the District line?
I will say it again, scooter. Quick, easy, and free parking.0
