Hi,

I have an appointment to make in Mayfair at 9:00am. There's no local train
station to me, so trains are out.

Is there anywhere to park in Mayfair? Or is this area of London the sole
monopoly of rich hotels and £100 per hour valet parking?

Has anyone been to Mayfair before? Parking... what's it like?

Thanks!

Or parking meters. You'd do better to drive to your nearest station,
even if not very local, and come in on the train. Or drive to a Tube
station on the outskirts of London and park there for the day. Probably
work out cheaper, AND you wouldn't have to pay the congestion charge.

Depends where you are coming from, drive to a tube station outside london,
park, then tube in.

Hmmm, I'm coming from the West - down the M3 or the M4. Any ideas? I don't
think I can park at Waterloo...

Park at Hounslow West - 10 mins from J3 of the M4.

Park at the underground car park on Park Lane underneath Hyde Park. It's
pretty easy to get to from the M40 - via A40(M) and Lancaster Gate.

Thanks all to the advice.

I'm coming from Farnborough, and I'll be travelling with a couple of heavy
bags for a presentation. I actually did a reccé trip tonight, the traffic
wasn't bad, but it wasn't rush hour. There was a set of parking meters there
for £4 for one hour, just as you said.

I'm planning on driving in - and getting there very early. Am also
considering possibly taking the train - but don't want to mess about with
the underground, etc - on a hot day and I also have other places I need to
go (outside of London).

I'm suprised there isn't a decent multistorey nearby. Or is there? (NCP
anybody?)

Most of the car parks are underground (rather than overground). The one
under the Park is by far the cheapest though.

If you type "NCP Mayfair" into Google you get one two blocks south of
Grosvenor Sq. It would appear to be under the Millennium Hotel.

Type W1K 2HP into:

http://www.ncp.co.uk/page.aspx?theLa...nterID=CARPARK

1 Hour £ 5.50
1 to 2 Hours £ 10.00
2 to 4 Hours £ 20.00
4 to 6 Hours £ 27.50
6 to 24 Hours £ 38.50

And you'll need to pay the Congestion Charge too.
