Parking in London is not fun; anyone that has tried it will tell you that much. However, such a simple matter should not put you off visiting London completely as there are some fantastic car parks should you know where to look. For example, in Fulham there are 2 car parks located very close to Putney Bridge tube station – from here you can get to almost anywhere in London, and seriously fast. These sites are run by professional owners who offer everything from basic parking to washing your car whilst you shop! However, there is a price attached to this and you can expect to pay at the very least £5 per hour. You have to remember, however, that this is one of the most upmarket locations in London – if you are trying to park on a budget you may wish to consider parking in Northern or Eastern London.

Rather than hunting for car parks the normal way, online and by driving around, you may wish to consider one of the many websites that has popped up offering an eBay-like service for car parking spots. Here, anyone with a piece of land (be it their drive or a dedicated car park) can rent out their space to you at a cost. You can find some amazing bargains on these websites – Fulham car parking can cost as little as £40 per week! This is a serious discount compared to many professional car parking sites. If you park here for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week that works out to just a pound an hour!
