Cockfosters parking

1886

I'm going to be parking at Cockfosters train station on a Monday morning next month. I've used the car park once before but it was on a Saturday.

Does anybody know what parking is like on a week day? Will there be many spaces mid morning?

Thanks

I can't speak for Cockfosters directly but I'd be amazed if it's not similar to the car park of my local station in Birmingham, which is jam packed by 7 a.m. on weekdays.

https://www.ncp.co.uk/find-a-car-park/car-parks/cockfosters-stn-lul/ says that the station is large so you won't have a problem finding a space.

Although it also says that the Central link runs from the station...

I think NCP are trying to put a good spin on it, 220 spaces doesn't sound like a lot to me considering Cockfosters is used by an average of over 5,200 people a day (I'd guess considerably more than that on weekdays).

Haven't tried Cockfosters but all of Hounslow West, Osterley and Hillingdon have had some spaces when I've arrived past the morning rush hour. Oakwood is one station down the line from Cockfosters if a reserve is needed and it has a large NCP Car Park.

As above try Oakwood it has a larger car park at the rear. You might struggle after 8am

Another vote for Oakwood! Our friends who are temporarily living in Cockfosters say it is by far the busier station than Oakwood, and the car park fills early on weekdays.
