North London. Where to park?

pbassred

From the Home counties, the only problem with cycling in London is getting to London. Yes, I could take the train but by the time I do that I might as well get a travel card and finish the journey on the tube! So my idea is to drive the bike the outer part of London cycle from there. Seems obvious.

but .... has Google failed me? I can't find anywhere to stash the motor. Was this not thought about when they planned the cycle highways? Is there any where to park inside the North circular ( well a little closer in than that really). I'm stumped.

I live in Hatfield or I might come in fron Luton. My 2 main targets are Waterloo and Kennington Park. Somewhere around Swiss Cottage or Camden would make it a 30min trip

Hi, when do you want to park. Weekend or mid-week? Weekend is relatively easy, weekday a bit harder as you can't park on yellow lines.

However, a great service I've recently started using is an app called JustPark. Basically either car parks post free spaces, or people rent out their drive ways. Used it a lot around London mid week and it works surprisingly well. Think Air Bnb for car parks.

+1 for that. Son spends most of his free time visiting GF in London. She lives near Canary Wharf and he finds parking spaces for a fiver using JustPark.
Which is a lot cheaper than when he failed to digest the parking restrictions on the street near his mates and had the car towed away :roll:

Tottenham and cycle in on CSH 1. Which is nothing like a superhighway !!
