PostHeaderIcon Cheapest airport parking for Heathrow (terminal 5). Any suggestions?

I am flying from Heathrow Terminal 5 on 25th December around midday (yes, Christmas day), returning to collect my car on January 7th, around 2pm. I have looked online for parking near the airport, but the prices I am seeing are similar to the prices quoted by some hotels for parking AND a room for the night before the flight. Does anyone have any suggestions of places to try to find better prices for just parking? I’m looking for places below £70 for a 2 week period (well, a day or two short of 2 weeks really). If I can’t find anything much cheaper than that, I may as well look at having a stay at a hotel the night before the flight, but given that it’s Christmas Eve, i’m not sure how enjoyable that would be!

Purple parking are the cheapest and best,I’ve used them myself on many occasions.
They are also the closest to the terminal,since a man wearing a black cap meets you outside the actual terminal entrance….you only have to walk about 10 paces and your inside the terminal.
You can call them on 0208 813 8130 to make your reservation,but don’t leave it to the last minute as they do get heavily booked.

If its EARLY on Christmas day.. then go onto nationalrail.co.uk and find out the latest train on Christmas EVE (tonight) and kip for a few hours on the sofas at airport. Or drive to Horley and park in a back street and get a cab.
