LONDON PARKING
Finding a parking space in London seems to get more complicated by the day. What
with the congestion charge, over zealous parking attendants, confusing
regulations and a myriad of different type of parking meter to contend with,
it's no wonder motorists are confused and frustrated. In the resulting chaos
every day in Central London 7,255 tickets are issued, 384 cars are clamped and
132 cars are towed way. Park-Up.com was set up to ease the motorist's and
motorcyclist's burden by providing you with the street by street lowdown on
where to find a parking space. You no longer need to drive around aimlessly
hunting for that elusive space - we have every one of London's car parks and
on-street parking locations on our searchable database. Of the 250 car parks in
Central London, only one is free - and that's only at the weekends. Every one
of Central London's streets has some kind of parking restriction on it. It is
now easy to not fall foul of local parking restrictions by using Park-Up.com.
Park-Up.com allows you to compare the cost of street parking and car parks and
make the appropriate choice for your journey.
