PostHeaderIcon Is there any decent 48 hrs parking sites outside London? - Other than the Airports?

Looking to spend a couple of days in London, but do not want to take my car into the city. I will be traveling up from the South and want somewhere secure to leave the car (for up to 48hrs), with good public transport links to the centre of London. I am thinking of using Gatwick Airport, but can anybody suggest an alternative?

If you want secure parking then the airport is your best bet. Purple parking (offsite) is one we use when we fly from Gatwick. They are ‘behind the wire’ and reasonably priced, especially if you book in advance. (£13.99 for 2 days) If you want to get into London, use the regular train rather than the Gatwick Express as it is much cheaper! Have a great trip!

PostHeaderIcon How To Get From Liverpool to London Finsbury Park (station) ?

im going to see Rage Against The Machine in london. im travelling from liverpool so im trying to keep costs to a minimum because im going to glastonbury in the same month.
HELP!

Yer best bet is to take a National Express coach from Norton Street down to Victoria coach station in London- (this journey’ll cost ya about thirty-five quid return, and it takes about five hours, [dependin' on traffic], so it’s gonna be a bit of a bloody schlep- I’ll warn ya that now, son!) However, it’s a pleasant enough journey. Anyway, once ya get to Victoria coach station in London, from there, head down Buckingham Palace Road, towards Victoria Tube station- (you’ll pass Victoria Library if yer headin’ in the right direction!) Once ya get down on the Underground, head for the NORTHBOUND branch of the Victoria Line, and catch either a Seven Sisters or a Walthamstow Central-bound train to Finsbury Park. I’ve even included a London Underground map for ya, cöck- (click on the link below).

Hope that’s helped, good buddy! I love your city, by the way, cöck. I’ve been a regular visitor to Liverpool for eight years and countin’, and me and the missus are goin’ back AGAIN from the fifteenth to the twenty-first of March, (THIS year)- we’re REALLY lookin’ forward to it an’ all. Anyway, below, are the links to the official National Express and London Underground websites. (Once again, click on the links below).

PostHeaderIcon Where do i pick up someone arriving at Heathrow from USA?

My girlfriend is finally (wooooo) moving over here to the UK with me.
She’s arriving on a Northwest Airlines service from Detroit, where is the best place to pick her up from in my car.
Is there a specific parking zone for this situation?

Yes, there are different car parks for all the separate terminals at Heathrow, also two different types of car parks, long stay & short stay(different prices).

Best bet, is to ask your g/f for the flight number of her flight, find out at which terminal that flight comes into, using the flight number, and then find out where the right car park is for the terminal.

Hope this helps!
