Parking advice please
 

Hullo peeps!

I'm thinking of blagging attendance at a half day demo of some HP kit in London next week.

Following a successful and enjoyable venture into London on the SV for the first time late last year I'd like to do this trip in the same fashion.

My question is can anyone either recommend any bike parking near here (EC2V 7QT - Wood street pretty much in the middle of Moorgate, Barbican & St Paul's tube stations) Google map linky...

or alternatively give me some advice on what sort of time I should aim to get to the area if I'm to successfully find somewhere to park up.

I do remember my instruction from last year to park rear tyre to curb and accidentally kick as many scooters as possible whenever an opportunity presents itself.

TIA peeps

PS Hope to make it down to Frith St. again soon :-)

I park in the bay at the bottom of Moor Lane - which is just north of London Wall.

Usually plenty of room there.

Give it a go :)

Cool - what time should I aim to be there for?

(Did I see something about you being SVless now? or was that the wrong end of a different stick?)

Re: Parking advice please
 

Yep no SV (at the moment - still waiting for the insurance to sort stuff out)

Just park next to the coolest bike in the bay - any time before 9 is perfect to get a space.

PS the coolest bike in the bay looks like this

Thankyou. Before 9 sounds pretty reasonable as the 'thing' starts at 9:30.

It is indeed very cool - I know one Northamptoner who'll go a little green (with envy) when he sees it.

What happened to the SV? The word "insurance" doesn't sound good :-( (I didn't see anything about that)

Id recommend the London Wall car park. Its undergound, and if you go right to the other end, there is plenty of room. I ride through it everyday as the entrance to my companies car park is a tthe other end. Its free (I believe) far better than a bike bay. Entrance is tricky though. If coming form mooregate, you have to ride down london wall, round the roundabout at the end and come back on yourself, then take the 1st left you come to. it spirals round to the left, throught the barrier and bobs your uncle.
