Some Help For The New Commuter In London

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

For people that have lived and worked in other parts of the country, the salaries on offer in London can prove very attractive.

Be in no doubt however that it is far more expensive to live in London.

The global influences on London and the nature of a lot of the work conducted there, particularly in the financial sector, means that London operates over a 24 hour day in many areas – rather than the more conventional nine-to-five business hours, like most cities in the rest of the country.

In London, everything is available somewhere at any time in the day. Demand is also at a premium for many things taken for granted in other parts of the UK.

Car parking in London, for example, is a major pressure point for commuters. Safe, secure long term parking in London is at even more of a premium, so much so that the preferred choice for many is to source their parking in London through 24 7 Parking.

You cannot assume that, unless you have pre-booked your car parking, you will be guaranteed cheap parking in central London in your preferred location.

You must allow extra time on your journey each and every day because even if you are lucky enough to find a space on one day, there is no guarantee that you will be able to do the same the following day or any other subsequent day in your working week.

Safe, secure car parking in central London really is at that much of a premium and can make the difference between arriving at work stressed and flustered and late, or calmly, on time and ready to start the day.

Access To Parking In The City

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

London is recognised worldwide for its financial sector and is considered one of the leading contributors in defining the way the financial markets operate today.

There are thousands of people working in the financial sector in London, along with even more people working in equally specialised sectors, all of which commute to work.

The travel and retail industries have developed dramatically over the years to provide the necessary support as London has grown.

Unfortunately, the desire for more business premises was not supported by increases in parking facilities throughout most of London.

At 24 7 Parking, our business is to source suitable long term parking in London.

We have spent many years building up our knowledge to ensure that our customers are able to drive their car into London, safe in the knowledge that they have somewhere to park.

Long term parking in London, for example, is a bit of a rare commodity and can almost be considered a real luxury and is often expensive. But it doesn’t have to be as expensive as you think.

We have access to locations for car parking in London where our customers are able to park their cars without having to endure the hustle and bustle of waiting their turn for a central London parking space in their preferred location to become available each day.

Pre-arranged Car Parking In The Barbican And London

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

With pressure on council budgets increasing by the minute, there is every chance that drivers in London could see increased activity by local councils in enforcing parking restrictions.

With car parking in Barbican being so hard to come by, drivers are going to be hard pressed to keep a “clean sheet” so to speak.

The temptation to take a chance may still be there in all likelihood, but it is very likely that at some stage you are going to be punished severely. With fines averaging in the region of £85 in some areas for illegal parking in London, is it really worth it?

A better solution for the regular commuter is to organise long term parking in London.

At 24 7 Parking, we have been sourcing car parking in Barbican and all major areas of London for many years.

Rates charged by the mainstream multi-story car park providers can often leave car drivers paying a lot more per day or week than they need to.

With the ever increasing pressure on car parking in Barbican there really is so much to be gained by securing such an agreement for long term parking in London.

Couple that with the financial pressures of the current economic climate, companies wishing to sweeten the pot for any potential employees will have the peace of mind knowing that parking spaces for their people are pre-arranged and paid for, which can help with financial planning.

It is more than likely it will prove quite an attraction for potential employees also.

A Commuter’s Solution To Long Term Parking In London

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

The Retail Price Index (RPI) reported by the Office of National Statistics for December 2009 showed the highest increase between any two consecutive months since 1979.

A major contributory factor was transport, with hikes in fuel prices.

This was reported before the reversion of VAT duty back up to 17.5%, which took place in January, which will undoubtedly influence the RPI for January.

In any event, long term parking in London will continue to be a problem with few expecting anything less than hikes in their daily London parking fees.

These are already difficult times with unprecedented job losses already having been reported in the past 12-18 months.

As the country starts to recover, jobs will hopefully start to be created, and in some areas of the country they are already seeing reductions in the number of people claiming Jobseeker’s allowance.

London, being the most populated city in the UK, will undoubtedly start to see changes in the employment status of their residents and, as the employment situation recovers, pressure on finding suitable long term parking in London will become even more intense.

The recent published announcements of price hikes by many of the public transport travel operators is going to do little other than convince commuters that their own car may well be the best solution.

At 24 7 Parking, we are able to source all of your long term parking in central London and provide you with pre-booked long term parking in Marble Arch or cheap parking in Mayfair in no time at all.
