central London parking
Perhaps not the best idea but can anyone recommend some central London parking for the 110?

Hi caterham Thumbs Up we've used for the last 15 to 20 years Qpark in Marlyebone Moxon Street W1U 4EY they're not cheap but it's safe and secure no height restriction,and a 15 minute walk to Oxford Street and to top it off a fantastic Butchers The Ginger Pig and Fromagerie The Fromagerie Cafe right next to the car park,hope this helps cheers Paul Tash n Barney

Depends which part of Central London you are going, however, the Royal National Hotel at Bloomsbury is also good from a height perspective

Selfridges have a car park under their Oxford Street store. Not sure about height but plenty of large spaces and always a few G Wagons in there. A great place for super car spotting.

Westfield Shepherds Bush is very cheap and fits a defender. Something like 10-13 for 24hrs Cheers, David
Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8.

Yes you are within the congestion charge zone so don't forget to pay later.

Didn't really get chance to look for any flash motors - none noticed adjacent to where I was parked up.

Looking for a variation on the above if possible.

I had to get from selfridges to the other side of St Pauls and used a bike for the return trip which has led to think that perhaps parking outside of the cc zone and pedal in. Hopefully finding cheaper parking too?

I can come in via the M1 or M40.

Many thanks.

Recommendation from David is a great one, we've been to London last week und I've put the G into the shopping center car parc at Westfieled London, it's only 9,50 per day. Let it there for 5 nights und no problems at all. Shepherds Bush to Trafalgar is only 10 mins tube ride on the CentralLine. Took the G to a car parc in the center around Picadilly/OldBondstreet for the last night because of having to leave very early in the morning: 50,- per night!!!

thanks all the same but a little further than I want to be.

I'm looking to have a go with qpark but can't recall what height restriction I need to fall within?

not sure if this will be ok - anyone tried it?
