Hello,


Can anyone tell me if there are any long stay car parks at, or near
Uxbridge tube station and how much they cost?


Thanks.


[snip various helpful suggestions]

Whilst any of these are OK for longer stays on a single day, I wouldn't
recommend them if you're looking to leave your car somewhere for several
days at a time. *If that's what you're after, then you might want to
consider the car park next to Hillingdon station (one stop up the line
from Uxbridge):

We had a lengthy discussion on uk.railway which featured Hillingdon
station car park prominently (my gosh, that makes it sound like a
great plot, doesn't it?!) - the general view was that it gets full up
quite quickly in the morning with commuters parkers.

FWIW, I've just teased the following prices out of the NCP website for
Hillingdon LU station car park (the way it's formatted on the NCP
website is dire):

Daily tariffs

Saturday £ 1.00
All Weekend £ 2.00
1 Day £ 3.70
2 Days £ 7.40
3 Days £ 11.10
4 Days £ 14.80
5 Days £ 18.50
W/E Plus 5 Days £ 20.50
Sat Plus 5 Days £ 19.50

Alternatively, if you don't mind a bit of a bus/taxi ride to get to and
from your car, then Heathrow Airport isn't all that far from Uxbridge,
and offers a variety of parking options for various lengths of stay...


There's also the route A40 bus, which is operated by Carousel Buses
(it's *not* a TfL service), which provides a non-stop service between
Heathrow and Uxbridge (before continuing on to High Wycombe). More
info:

(Is it helpful or a hindrance to name it/number it after the road it
largely runs along, I wonder?)
