Furious Custard Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Have parked for free on weekends at Hounslow West station before. Then roughly a tenner for the Tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
class not gas Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Is it free parking in the station or just street parking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 You can come off M4 later around Chiswick/Hammersmith. You won't get free parking but you could try and find something on this site, not used this one before but have used similar things. On someone's drive might be cheaper: https://www.justpark.com/search/?filter=1&order=&q=Hammersmith%2C+London%2C+United+Kingdom&ac_country=&place_id=&location_name=Hammersmith&source=none&coords=51.4911875%2C-0.22373149999998532&start_date=06+Feb+2016&start_time=11%3A00%3A00&end_date=06+Feb+2016&end_time=23%3A00%3A00&no_of_spaces=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Always parked at Oysterley underground station car park, something like £2 all day at weekends. 5 minutes off the motorway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit more than 10 minutes walk from Greenwich isn't it? You can get the overland train to Charlton from London Bridge takes about 15m and there's about 4 per hour but there are some decent pubs in Greenwich/Cutty Sark and that's on the same line / one of the stops on the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a heads up, it's not Greenwich you want to get too. It's Charlton station. You can get to Charlton station from Greenwich DLR station by taking the train 3 stops, otherwise your walk will be more like 45 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wybmadwity Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 The Valley isn't near any tube stations, so unless you know where you are going and don't mind a 45 minute walk (?) it needs a bus as well. The Charlton overground station is close to the ground, so one way would be taking any overground train into Waterloo, walking across to Waterloo East (less than 5 minutes) and get a train direct to Charlton from there. Done using one ticket. There will be free street parking near some overground stations, e.g. Brentford, Kew Bridge or Chiswick, but you may need to park 10 minutes away. A Tube option is to use Acton Town (Picadilly) and park down Bollo Lane next to the station (free), which is a cheaper zone than Hounslow. Come off the M4 and go north along the North Circular (J2, as for Brentford) , go right at the light at the first crossroads, and Acton Town station is half a mile or so on the right, Bollo Lane is just past it on tthe right. One overground ticket might be cheaper than tube + bus. I'm not sure whether a travelcard (tube+bus) is cheaper than just using a contactless bank card for each journey is cheaper (just tap the card where you tap an oyster card). There are many options. I know a bit, but others will always know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray White Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I usually turn off the m4 at Chiswick and park close to Kew Gardens. Plenty of residential street parking and it's free on the weekend. Then district line into central London (or change into the Piccadilly at Hammersmith), takes around 25 mins.

PHILINFRANCE Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Or why not try Gunnersbury (street parking on the left hand side of the road as you approach the station), just off the M4 and easy access both in to London and for a quick exit after.

Hope we will see 2000 + (POTD dependant) at the valley come Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
