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!
What is the best way to travel from Hyde Park area to Gatwick?
traveling with my 2 teenagers, and we are WAY over-budget!
Get a bus from Hyde Park to Victoria and then train to Gatwick. That is the easiest way. You do not need to use the Gatwick Express, other trains stop at Gatwick too and are cheaper.

Travelling to London Heathrow airport next Thursday from Birmingham traveling times please?
Taking my son to Catch a flight to the USA next week from Heathrow airport (10.05am flight) next Thursday from the Birmingham area.
Need to get there a few hours before flight, how much travelling time would you sensibly allow and also finding parking spaces
Never been to Heathrow before, what will be the worst road congestion areas.
If you travel to Heathrow from B’ham on a regular basis any goods times to give me please.
Spelling error, meant any good "tips" to give me

First, I hope you are not going to just "find a parking space" - you must pre-book if you don’t want to get fleeced. You don’t say how long you are going for, but if it is 14 days then the best parking price is £73.
You should aim to arrive at the airport around 07:00. If you are using one of the budget parks, then you must allow for being shuttled to your terminal. Frankly, I would leave B’ham at 4 am.
However, it you want a more relaxing start to your holiday, I would strongly suggest coming down the night before - you never know when an accident might block the motorway then you are in trouble. I can arrange a luxury 4 star Heathrow hotel, and 14 nights parking, for £119.

How much will it cost to take a taxi from Heathrow Airport to Hyde Park in London?
We’re traveling there soon and are trying to decide if it’s cheaper to take a taxi or the Heathrow Express for four people. Thank you.
Why not just take the London Underground - The Piccadilly line runs from all terminals at Heathrow direct to Hyde Park - by far the cheapest and quickest way to do that journey. The trains are designed for people with luggage so that’s no problem.
