Nope, no-one lives in London, we are all the Living Dead.



Get the train is my advice.

Otherwise you are at the mercy of Westminster Council and their parking charges.

If that still works out cheaper than the train, then there is a carpark UNDER Hyde Park that is probably as good as anywhere.

Oh and if you take the train you can take advantage of the Mulled Wine and multitude of places selling beer.

Another idea is to park in St John's Wood, all the residents bays are free on Sundays, then jump on the 82 bus from near St John's Wood station to Hyde Park. Takes about 20 minutes.

If you park anywhere near SJW High Street, and there are lots of residential streets round there, then the car should be secure, it's such a posh area that you're more likely to get your car pranged by a Porsche or Aston Martin than anything else.

The bus ride down is nicer than the tube and cheaper.

Here's a link:

Do you mean "live" or "exist"?

There is a place about 5 minutes walk from London Bridge/Borough station where you can park absolutely free for as long as you want.

It's residential, but not for permit holders only, and very few people know about it so there are always places. Always used to leave my car there if I needed it for uni.

B marks the spot.

I think single yellows in most areas are allowed on Sundays as well.

Yeh my window overlooks that area where all the bikes park. Used to leave mine there too before my mate sorted me out with an underground lot.

What bike was yours?
