I'd be worried to be honest mate. Never done it and hope i never have to.

Maybe find a local NCP, their overnight charges aint too bad IIRC... and ask em about how secure it is first.

ncp, good idea. there's one sort of up the road, i'll check it out for biker-friendliness on my way home in a few minutes.

ta for that spidey.

does anyone else have suggestions....time is running out as i need to park it up tomorrow (weds) morning, and then i'll be away until thursday night.

the thought of using public transport to get into work is just too awful to contemplate........

Post something in the Soho Massive section asking for temp bike parking - you might be lucky and have an offer of help.

feel free to have a go lads, it's not the ncp actually, it's in the police car park underneath west end central police station in savile row.
