In London parking news and news on parking from across the UK this year, a survey carried out by Aviva has seen members of the public voting for the worst parking spaces in the country and they have come up with a list of the top 10.

The worst parking spaces are those places where drivers have complained that you need a ‘can opener’ to get out of the space and fear that their cars will be dented because they are so boxed in by other vehicles. In some cases drivers have had to climb out of their boots in hatchback vehicles because they have been unable to open their car doors due to the close proximity of the car parked next to them.

Director of insurance at Aviva, David Tyers, commented:

“We asked the pubic for their worst experiences and they’ve certainly come up with some priceless examples. People appear genuinely frustrated by some spaces that are on offer throughout the UK – not only are the bumps and scratches taking their toll on their paintwork, but the whole process appears more exhausting than ever!’

Car parking in Soho was nominated as the second worst place in the UK for parking your car.

Soho parking particularly on Brewer Street has seen parking spaces which are sandwiched between pipes and masked with a large concrete pillars. Motorists parking in Soho in the Brewer Street area have had to squeeze out of such a tight space when they have tried to exit their vehicles that there have been a large number of complaints because of scraped paintwork and dented doors.

Other areas to have been nominated as some of the worst in the UK have including parking in London, Brighton, Nottingham, Blackpool, Hendon and Harrogate.
