I am attending the official launch of the final Harry Potter book.
It's being held at the Natural History Museum during the night of Fri/
Sat this week (20th/ 21st July). My invitation is for 4am!! I am
planning to drive. What are my best options for parking nearby at
that time of night?

I often need to park near Gloucester Road station just before 2am. I have
found that Stanhope Gardens (the east-west part, not the north-south parts)
always has free parking spaces, but no other nearby road ever does. The
situation might be easier later.
