Hi,

A friend is coming into London via the M3 and wants to park on the
outskirts and get the tube in. It would be on a Tuesday afternoon.

Any recommendations on where he should aim for?

Thanks,

If he's on the M3 corridor, he's better off coming in by train from
Southampton/Winchester/Basingstoke/Farnborough - cheaper parking too.

He's in the middle of Somerset, and giving a lift to the person who
would normally run him to the station, I suspect. I think he's
already considered and discounted train, although he'd use it if
he was on his own for this journey.

I used to work with somebody who drove from the Bagshot area and parked
near Morden station.

Fairly insane thing to do imho. I grew up in Morden and visit family
there. Morden is now the Controlled Parking Zone from hell. Bagshot is
useless for London trains I agree but Richmond or even Worplesdon,
Guildford or Woking are nearer than Morden and quicker overall to Waterloo..

The M3 ends in Sunbury. Quite a way from any tube station.
However, SWTrains links are good.
Sunbury station is just by the M3 junction but trains are less frequent
and take longer.
Feltham Station has fast trains into London Waterloo. Take about 35
minutes.

Go a little further and the M3 merges turns into the A316.
Whitton, Twickenham and Richmond stations are nearby and will get you
into Waterloo.
Richmond will also plug you into the tube network. But it's faster to
get SWT into Central London.

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.

If you really mean the tube M3/M25(!)/M4 to M4J3 then A312 South to the A4
and head for London. Osterley Station (on the left about 2 miles from the
A312) has a car park. If that's full on street parking.

Otherwise continue M3 to terminus then on along the A316. Cross Twickenham
Bridge and continue until Chiswick Bridge. Immediately after crossing turn
left into Hartington Road, first right (Cavendish Road) at the end left into
Spencer Road and park (free) by Station Approach Road and walk to Chiswick
Station (South West trains). Trains every 15 minutes to Clapham Junction
(connections to Olympia and Victoria), Vauxhall (Victoria Line) and in to
Waterloo. Watch the frequency in the evenings and the last train times.
Getting out of Chiswick along the A316 during the evening rush (and in in
the morning) can be interesting(!).
