parking in South Kensington: advice needed!
In article rViOb.88294$xy6.160243@attbi_s02, Jon Squire
writes We will be visiting London from California in late June. We know it is crazy to have a car in London, but for our last 24 hours, it would make our lives a lot easier to have a car while staying in South Kensington for various reasons. How difficult is it to find a parking place on the street? Is it as bad as Manhattan, or do you just need to go around the block a couple times? And is S. Kensington (by the Gloucester Rd. tube stop) considered within the central district where the levee is assessed? Thanks very much for your reply! Jon S. Berkeley CA Non resident street parking is more or less impossible to find for periods of longer than 2 hours. Use one of the car parks that open 24hr and pay through the nose for the pleasure. Imperial College is one that springs to mind - approx US$55 per day. -- Andrew Electronic communications can be altered and therefore the integrity of this communication can not be guaranteed.

Check that though, with all of the Building work going on, not sure if the car park is open to the general public at the moment. Might be staff only. Jaime |

Might be staff only. According to the Imperial College website, it's open in vacations and weekends, but is "severely restricted". If Jon doesn't need to use the car during the day, he could take it to High Street Kensington or Hammersmith or somewhere else with a car park, leave it there, and return to Gloucester Road by Underground. He needs to check that the car park will be open at the times he wants to leave/collect the car, though. -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |

I'm amazed at that - I had assumed that since they have just cut back parking spaces for staff members by 50%, they wouldn't let the public in during office hours. The money-grabbing ****ers! :-) |
