I used Just Park and parked at Hammersmith. Got the tube into London. Parking was £8 for the day.

If you’re coming into London from outside the M25 and don’t mind a short tube ride to get into the centre of town, parking at a Tube station outside of the Congestion Charging/Low Emission zones is a vert smart idea. Avoid the peak periods and you’ll be fine.

As it happens, my Mrs lives in Redhill so it's even easier now. I still avoid it though as its too busy for me.

Central London traffic is mental. Unless you’re a local and know your route like the back of your hand, save yourself a whole load of stress and steer well clear of it.

For future reference, Bluewater and Lakeside have free parking.
I don’t know how the Westfield you went to compares with them or the Westfield at Stratford but I quite enjoy going to the first two but really don’t like Westfield Stratford.

If you're coming from Coventry as per the OP, you wouldn't spend the extra time or hassle driving through London or round the M25 to get to Stratford/Bluewater if you can just come down the M40 straight into the Westfield at White City. As long as you avoid the rush hour to do the bit between the M25 and Westfield, it's a pretty painless journey. That Westfield has recently opened its second phase, so it's massive, kind of like two Westfields on the same site.

In the end, most of those monster malls all seem to be full of the same chain stores, so go for whichever one is easiest to get to.

Perhaps I'll give it a look, thanks.
