Thought I'd seek advice from you folk in the big city. I'm travelling up to London tomorrow, staying overnight and then catching a coach to Paris for a few days. Does anyone have any recommendations for fairly secure parking for 4 to 5 days in easy access off the M4? I'm currently planning on parking at Heathrow long stay but if someone has any suggestions for something closer in and within easy reach of an underground station at a sensible price I'd be happy to hear. Cheers.

    The metropolitan line extends all the way to Amersham and Chesham. Surely you can find a way to park for free in either of them... more M40 than M4 though

    Beware some of the unofficial airport parking companies, there have been news stories about some of them parking cars in muddy fields or ragging the cars around. I think these are mainly the ones that offer valet parking from the terminal though.
    Booking online first is cheaper than turning up and paying.
    But what Ugo says may be more sensible and will almost certainly be cheaper.

    Cheers, I tend to book through the official Heathrow car park and just drive in and use the shuttle bus. It's not too expensive at just over £50 but it's a bit of a trek in on the Tube from there. If I go up for a day I tend to park at Osterley station but not sure if you can park for more than 24 hours at a time there.

    I'll take a look at the northwest London area.

    leave the car at home and "let the train take the strain"

    Seems I can park for the whole period at Osterley so will probably do that, £21 for 5 days isn't bad!

    I've used a spot on N London, very well priced and good

    I'd get the bus in from Peckham personally

    Why? Class system?

    Leave the car in Cardiff and hire a private jet. Probably cheaper

    £21 to park for 5 days in a CCTV covered and patrolled car park for 5 days at a Zone 4 station, 20 minute or so trip into central London at a return cost of less than £12 for 3 people. I'd say that was reasonable value. With a delay on my trip back from Paris it was also far more convenient than if we'd gone by train or coach.
