Parking off M40 to catch tube to London on Friday

9 replies

There are no trains running from where I live so my plan is to drive in and catch the tube. On the weekend we park at Hillingdon but it looked like it might get parked up early in the week with commuters. I won't have much time to drive around so ideally want to head somewhere likely to have space.

Where else is a good place to park with 2 junior school aged DC please?

Heading to Victoria/Green Park.

Try just park to see if you can reserve private property? I usually pay to park on someone’s driveway near a tube. I’m sure someone in Hillingdon will be renting a space out if that’s the location that usually works for you to park in

The Chimes shopping centre car park in Uxbridge is right by the tube station and only 5 mins off the M40.

Ickenham, the next stop on from Hillingdon, always seem to have space! Dh uses it nearly every week. I’ve driven down there a few times on a Friday and it’s never been more than half full.

Westfield shopping centre Shepherd's Bush has cheap all day parking rates.

I was going to say The Chimes shopping centre as well.

I chose Ickenham and it was almost exactly half full so thank you.

Thank you to everyone for your suggestions. I checked them out and Ickenham made the most sense in terms of getting to and from the places we visited most directly.

I did consider a Just Park near Edgeware Road but the lines didn't work out in the end.

Make sure you’re ULEZ compliant…

Glad it worked for you!

Good thinking. Just checked and yes I am.
