Pre booked car parking in London

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

There are few areas where one can easily find convenient car parking in London. Whilst it is accepted that the Westminster area is well supported by one of the larger tube stations in Central London, there are still plenty of people that use their cars to travel and visit places in and around the area.
Security around Westminster can also be extremely tight, given Buckingham Palace is located in the area, as millions of tourists travel to see the Royal Palace, other sights and tourist attractions. Parking in Westminster therefore can prove extremely difficult unless you know where to go for it.
Regular commuters, particularly to the Central London area, can find it an extremely frustrating task in their search to find convenient; secure, long term parking in London. It is therefore pretty much an absolute necessity for people travelling in to London on a regular basis that want to avoid the hassles and battles with other visitors for car parking spaces to use professional car parking space finders.
At 24 7 Parking we have been providing parking spaces in London for drivers, in and around all areas of London since 1992, and we have built up a superior knowledge and contact base over that time.
One time visitors may not be aware of the problems that can be encountered when trying to find car parking in London so regular visitors can give themselves a distinct advantage by pre booking discounted short and long term car parking in London.

Secure car parking

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

Using your car to commute in and out of London may not seem that appealing until one considers what happened recently to a Hertfordshire jeweller travelling on a train journey from Glasgow Central to London.
Jewellery worth in the region of £500,000 was stolen, with the 64 year old jeweller only realising when he noticed his suitcase which contained the individually designed bracelets, pendants, wedding and eternity rings was missing.
Security is always high on every commuter’s mind and not just those people travelling in and out of London. Coupled with the recent price hikes in rail travel announced by The Association of Train Operating Companies, such reports may make those with concerns about their safety feel inclined to revert to travelling in to London by car.
This can however come with its own problems, as finding car parking in London is not as easy as one would imagine.

Train fares set to rise in January

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

The Association of Train Operating Companies has recently announced rail fares are set to rise by an average of 1.1 per cent in January 2010.Not too painful to most, especially considering that this increase is reportedly the lowest price rise since privatisation was introduced in the mid 90s. The pain starts to feed through however when one takes the time to check what has happened to retail prices. Retail prices have in fact reduced by some 1.4% when looking at the month in which they use to calculate these increases. These new rail prices could potentially be interpreted therefore as a 2.5% increase.
London rail users however fair even worse as South Eastern has announced increases of 1.6% and one can only sympathise with users along some of the East Coast lines who recently took over the troubled Inter City East Coast rail franchise. They are to see some journey prices increased by up to 5%.
These disappointing increases could be the end of the line for some commuters, particualrly in London, who may well forego the hustle and bustle of the trains in return for their cars.
Finding suitable, cheap car parking in London is by no means a given. All too often, a car park with suitable spaces on one day does not have any spaces the following day.
For this reason, it is always recommended that people pre-book parking spaces. For those commuters who do return to using their car, At 24 7 Parking we are invariably able to offer discounted long term parking.

Car parking in London need not be a hassle

Monday, December 21st, 2009

London is one of the most popular cities to visit in the world, let alone the UK. It is in fact one of the busiest places on the planet with one of the busiest airports. London also continues to be one of the most fantastic places to visit, being steeped in history and being home to one of the most famous people in the world, namely our monarch, the Queen.
In spite of these charms and the heraldic history, the parking facilities throughout London are under severe pressure.

Parking in London can turn into a complete nightmare for the unwary and ill prepared. Whilst there is of course a lot of parking available in London, the premier car parks are invariably accompanied by premier prices, shorter and longer term.

Cheaper parking in London is generally available through specialist providers such as us at 24 7 Parking. We have spent years building up our database of car parking facilities to ensure our customers have the widest of choices.
Just like at most airports, the closer to the main thoroughfares, the more prestigious locations and the centre of London, the higher one can expect to pay for parking.
Pre-booking car parking in London however can offer significant benefits. Not only with a pre-booked car parking space potentially save a lot of the time and effort needed when trying to find a space on the day as you drive around, it can also offer significant savings.
