Default Parking near the M3 to get the tube

You how long you are staying and at what times od day and day. But
parking will be quite expensive in Richmond or Twickenham for long
durations.


Parking in Richmond's Old Deer Park car park (adjacent to the A316,
which is the continuation of the M3) is currently £5 for up to six
hours or £7 for up to 24 hours (£6 and £8 respectively from 5th
February): its free after 6.30pm. Its only a short walk to Richmond
station, from where a fast train will get to Waterloo in 10 minutes.


Not that fast, in the afternoon anyway; 19 minutes is the fastest. On a
Tuesday afternoon (when the OP is travelling), the time to get to
Waterloo from arrival at Richmond station (including waiting for the
train) would be between 19 and 33 minutes, average 26 minutes.
Curiously, despite having 4 tracks from Barnes onwards, none of the
all-stations stopping trains are overtaken by the fasts.
