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!
Could you check my grammar please?
There are many ways to spend your summer holiday, my last one I decided to spend in a foreign country. I, to my thinking, have been to many places, but mainly it was resorts of developing countries. And as I have european citizenship now, what means free movement through whole Europe, it would be silly not to visit the main island in the world. I’m talking about Great Britain, of course.
Here it was, twenty first of June. Airplane, two hours of anxious expectation, Stansted airport, bus to London. I was informed that the first impression of megapolis is in 90% awful: crowds of people, dirt, vanity and total disorientation. At least such was my Moscow arriving impression. But with London it turned out another way.
We left the bus just near Hyde Park, with travel bags, in the middle of the street, in the way of tens pedestrians. I was expecting to hear something like “Watch where you’re staying, softhead!”, but all I heard was “Sorry”. I received tens of “Sorry” in one minute. Later I was thinking how should I feel about it, but then I regarded such politeness as… displaying of culture. After a couple of days I began to say “Sorry” to every passerby who was accidentally touched by me. After a week I got accustomed to English two-tap hands and face washing system. After a month I almost integrated to completely international environment.
Well, if to speak about traveling, I think that it doesn’t matter where are you going and how much money do you have in your pocket. As for me, the only two things you should have for excellent time spending are people around you and the way in front of you.
