Parking my car at Gatwick Airport, has anyone else ever done that?
I am looking on line at where to park my car but prices range from £46 to over £100 I am wanting to park the car for a fortnight and the car parks are all different, all have free transport to the hotel but I am worried as I have never done this before, If anyone can suggest a company that they have used then please let me know. Thanks
I’ve used Purple Parking before (http://www.purpleparkin.co.uk/) - both at Gatwick and Heathrow. I have found them to be reliable and efficient.
A fortnight in March at Gatwick costs £52.50 for normal parking.
If you wanted to do it in style, then Purple Parking do "meet and greet" (where you drop your car off at the terminal and they park it. Then they bring it back to the terminal when you arrive) and costs from £97.50.
I’ve used the meet and greet at Heathrow before, and it was very hassle free (I also checked the mileage, and they hadn’t driven the car more than a 10 mile round trip to park it wherever they stored it whilst i was away).
how to reach pembury hotel in finsbury park from Gatwick airport by train/tube?
Easiest way to Finsbury Park from Gatwick Airport is to catch a First Capital Connect service from Gatwick Airport station to St. Pancras International. From there, walk across to Kings Cross station and catch one of the many local services which are first stop Finsbury Park. The hotel website says it is two minutes walk from the station. Alternatively, catch a train from the Airport to Victoria, and then catch the Victoria Line (light blue line) in the direction ‘Walthamstow’ to Seven Sisters tube station (which is linked to Finsbury Park station). If you are arriving at a weekend, that would be the preferred route as FCC services are not crossing London, and hence those from the south do not serve St. P. International at those times, due to large scale upgrade work on the line in Central London, requiring weekend closure
