One word of advice – never, ever try parking in London if you do not have a secured London parking space.

Car parking in London, if you can find it, can be extremely expensive and there is no guarantee that you will find a space. London’s parking meters are normally absolutely full with vehicles; however, if you are lucky enough to find a London parking meter it will only serve you as a short term alternative.

Parking meters are easy enough to use and the parking zone is clearly marked against the side of the road in most major cities. Unfortunately, there are a large number of people who still manage to find themselves penalised even after paying for a parking meter. You cannot let the time run out on the meter and the time you have to park is extremely short. The minute your car goes over the allocated time you have paid for beforehand, it is virtually guaranteed that a vigilant parking officer will issue you with a ticket.

Additionally, if you have just managed to squeeze yourself into the parking lines marked on the road side but your wheel is only slightly poking over the edge, you have yourself another parking ticket.

Is it really worth running the risk of a London parking penalty and all the stress and time it takes to find car parking in London? Life would be so much cheaper and more stress-free if you were to organise your London parking before you travel.

For some people, using public car parking in London can cost as much as £60 for 24 hours and the closer you get to central key locations the more expensive London parking becomes.
