Parking in/around Richmond

[Huffton]

Taking the kids up to the big smoke on thursday, planning to drive up to Richmond/Kew area and get the tube in. Anyone know anywhere reasonable for parking within easy distance of a tube station? I know about the NCP in Richmond but if anyone knows of anywhere a bit cheaper....

You should be able to park for free on a street somewhere I would've thought? I've done that in Richmond in the past within walking distance of the station. Times may have changed though.

No, I have a mate in Richmond, I can park on some streets there for free, no worries, and last time was only a few weeks ago.

parking at station next the castle place where henry 8th used to **** in is cheap and lots of spaces.

[RedAndWhite91]

Yeah that NCP place is extortionate, don't bother. Rip off.

Park at the swimming pool, about 5 minutes walk to the station. Mind you, Wimbledon is better as there is a fast train service to Waterloo.

Osterley Tube station.

There's a big retail park about 5mins walk from Kew station

 

I parked there for four hours a couple of years back with no problems

interested as well, if anyone knows names of streets to aim for (satnav as don't know that area!) for free parking would be good.

Plenty of free parking in the side streets around Kew, well there was when I when up last year.

I use this car park regularly http://www.richmond.gov.uk/home/community_and_living/local_maps/car_parks_map.htm?point=16 its very easy to get to and parking is reasonable. Its also 2 minutes walk to Richmond station.

There's a lot of stuff gets nicked from cars in that one.

The Kings Mall car park in Hammersmith is very cheap. Usually about £8 for the whole day and is really close to the station which is on the Picadilly and District line.

I've used this one many times. Also try Wimbledon or Mordon haven't been there for a few years but I recall that the car parks were cheap and the tube is about a 5 minute walk at both.

 

Enjoy you day out, I'm taking the kids to the O2 on Friday, staying over night and going into the smoke on Saturday (missing the game - bad planning:mad:). You can park at the O2 on a Saturday for £3 all day, well you could last year, I hope it hasn't changed.

+1 - often use this for concerts too as it's open 24hrs; shame the tube isn't mind!

There's a fast service from Richmond too.

 

Most of Richmond town centre is controlled parking, as is most of Richmond Hill.

You could carry on up the 316 to Manor Circus, take a right there and park for free in the Homebase car park opposite North Sheen station. k Train from there into Waterloo takes a little longer than from Richmond but it's only Zone 3 rather than Zone 4 so your tickets will be cheaper. All trains also stop at Vauxhall too if you want to hop on the Viccy line.

 

BTW - there are some people who park in that car park all day, every weekday when they get the train to work. Homebase don't give a f***.

Park in there every time I go up to London for work, never had a problem. All day for £8 is a bargain.

I used to drive up the M3/A316 regularly. Always parked near Kew Grdns tube - no problem leaving the car there all day and free parking. Was about six years ago though.
