Default Parking in London for Funland

So am off on a work public relations thingy and it includes bowling at Trocadero, Funland.
I assume the bike parking areas are packed with scooters in the afternoon so was wondering if anyone might suggest a covered car park or something....have never rode in Central London yet

Weekday afternoon? Gonna be tough for bike bay spaces. The best thing is to make a small map and mark a couple. That way you can keep riding round till you find one. Try Golden Square as there are 4 bays there and it's quite close to Trocadero. Alternatively, NCP charge something like £3 (?) for a whole day. Might be easier.

Remember, if the bay has a meter and someone has their car in it, you can park in the bay too. It's hard for them to prove it wasn't you that paid.

Enjoy the bowling!

Hi TC3,

There is and NCP just round the corner from Funland. TBH I don't know if they is a charge for parking the bike but they do have bike parking pay. It maybe worth checking the NCP website.

some NCPs don't allow bikes in at all, so check the www before you go.

if all else fails, send me a PM and you can use my space which is a 5 min walk from Piccadilly Circus. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=...+4qa&cid=&om=1

Depending on what time of day, you can even leave your gear in my office if you need to change etc. Can't guarantee it won't be on ebay by the end of the afternoon though
