Is cheap parking in Greater London possible?

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

The answer is yes; it is possible to find affordable or cheap London parking. That said, it is not easy unless you know the right people and the right places to look. London is the financial capital of the UK and the gateway to Europe. Peak hour in the Greater London area can be an absolute nightmare.

The UK has become a country of strict rules and regulations that irk some people in the extreme. Yet, with a country that has to house a rather large population for its size, without strict regulations there would be chaos. It is actually even possible to get free London parking. The problem is that you can only get that parking in certain places after 7pm and until 7am in the morning.

This does not help the person that has to be in London regularly during business hours in the least. That means if you do not have a convenient parking space tucked away you have to opt for the multi-story car parks. The only problem with this is that regular parking in these car parks is extremely expensive.

Mayfair parking made possible

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

What is it about Mayfair that makes it such a hotspot for finding parking? The answer lies in its location as it is completely central in Westminster. Mayfair is surrounded by Regent Street, Oxford Street and Hyde Park, which are all high traffic areas. Now, these are extremely popular areas for shopping and socialising for locals as well as tourists. Add to this the proximity of Buckingham Palace.

That brings in literally hundreds of thousands of tourists yearly to make things even more difficult. The answer thus becomes very clear as to why it is so difficult to find parking here. Now where does that leave all the people that have to travel to the heart of London on a regular basis?

It leaves them frustrated and without readily available parking. Mayfair is simply the most convenient place to park and ride a bus or tube train into the centre of London, so the need for parking in Mayfair is huge.

We have the answers

Mayfair parking is there, you have to know where to look. This makes it possible for individuals as well as companies that have corporate parking needs to gain access to secure and affordable parking. Our expertise lie in finding parking not for those that need parking only for an hour or two, but the people that seriously need full-time parking and for the long term.

Don’t let parking be your Waterloo

Monday, September 28th, 2009

London is a world city with people moving in and out of the city in a never-ending stream for business, work, to play and to experience all the wonders this city has to offer. Waterloo Station is extremely well located for anyone wanting to visit the Palace of Westminster, the London Aquarium as well as the incredibly popular O2 Arena. There is a famous quote that says: “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.”

It is a wonderful quote, but the person that said that did not have to contend with driving in the congested traffic of London. Nor did he have to find parking in Waterloo. The popularity of Waterloo parking is understandable; it is the perfect place to get to some of the most famous London landmarks.

This unfortunately does not make it any easier for anyone to find regular parking in Waterloo. The location of Waterloo means that parking is an incredibly scarce commodity. It can be very costly and that is why people that need regular parking need a helping hand.

If it exists we’ll find it

24 7 Parking has been finding parking solutions for clients in the greater London area and across the UK for the past eight years. We not only find parking, but parking that is both reasonably priced as well as secure. Waterloo parking may be scarce for people in general, but we know how to source parking where people are convinced it does not exist. All you have to do is complete the online enquiry form. Tell us which area and the duration you need parking for. Then you leave the rest up to us.

London wins most expensive parking award!

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

Reuters reported on Jul 08, 2009, that according to a global survey, London parking prices are the highest in the world and London now holds that dubious honour for two years running. According to a comparison done by Colliers International the average parking per month in the City of London comes to roughly £620. This is an astronomical amount of money, no matter how you try to justify it as to scarcity of parking, the overcrowded city and the congested traffic.

If you have to be anywhere in the greater London area occasionally, the solution is simple; leave your car at home and make use of the public transportation system.

Parking rage, the new phenomenon

Friday, September 25th, 2009

Everyone is familiar with the term ‘road rage’. Road rage has been around since the wheel has been around and wheeled vehicles have been used. However, rage over vehicle difficulties has taken on a whole new angle in the UK lately. These days there are many UK citizens who suffer from a new phenomenon; parking rage.
Parking rage is the direct result of the scarcity of available parking all over the UK, from cities to other areas.

Parking rage can also take on many different forms. Yelling at a parking attendant or deliberately knocking into another vehicle just to squeeze into a tight space – that is parking rage. Deliberately, and with full knowledge of the consequences defying parking regulations in the cities and elsewhere, all of this can be classified as parking rage. Can you think of any times you have suffered from parking rage?
