CotswoldRed Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hi Folks Considering QPR for the first time, but by car. I am guessing that every road within walking distance of the ground will be residents parking? After all it is London? Does anyone know the area well and can recommend the best options for parking within a 15/20 minute walk of the ground, preferably free and safe. Paul ...

Parking round that ground for free is mission impossible - don't think safety is an issue, there are just too many people living round there/shopping to leave any room for visitors. it will be 100% residents parking too. One thought would be to park at the new Westfield shopping centre, which is walkable - you will have to pay but not a huge amount. Carpark has room for 4,500 people it says on their website: Website is http://uk.westfield.com/london/getting-there/car Well_red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Last year I parked in a side road the other side of Shephards Bush green. It was residents parking but only Monday-Friday so it was free. Two minutes walk away from the pubs in Shephards Bush and 10-15 minutes from the ground. Perfect.

William Stand Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Looks simple and convenient, thanks! I go to London a lot & park in the Kings Mall at Hammersmith. Its not free but not too expensive. There always seems to be space & I'm pretty sure its within 20 mins walk to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth a try before heading to Westfield, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DanC Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Any games in London I always drive to Brentford and park at the station (free on a sat I think) and then get the train in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I did that for Palace. Staggeringly simple. And as you say free parking in residents bit on a Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUMMAT OUTTA NOWT Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 BE WARNED THAT NOW THE WESTFIELD SHOPPING CENTRE IS OPEN THERE ARE ROADWORKS ALL AROUND SHEPERDS BUSH AND THE BBC THEY ARE CHANGING THE PARKING ON THE STREETS. THERE IS A LOT OF SUSPENDED PARKING AROUND THE GROUND. YOUR SAFEST BET IS THE WESTFIELD ONLY FIVE MINUTES WALK. I ENDURE THE CHAOS OF IT ALL TWICE A WEEK AND THE SIGNS SAY THEY WILL FINISH IN MAY. TAKE IT FROM ME IT IS NOT FUN. I WOULD PARK AT BRENTFORD AND CATCH THE TUBE YOUR TRIP WILL BE MUCH QUICKER. HOPE THIS HELPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basso for Brazil Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Any games in London I always drive to Brentford and park at the station (free on a sat I think) and then get the train in. Yep i do exactly the same and if the car park is full its in a residential area where you can always find a space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
