Im staying in Lodon this weekend, I have a hotel in Barbican near the junction of Central Street and Level Street.

Im loking for inside knwoedge as I have never stayed in this side of town before. Is NCP best secure overnight carpark?

Get a second mortgage for parking in London.

If you can, park outside London and get the tube in.

If Im visitng the city (and work are paying my expenses) I usually park at Heathrow and get the express.

But there are 5 of us with luggage, so Im hoping to park overnight in secure parking. I knwo it will be expensice, but between 5 it wont be much and parking + petrol is much cheaper than 5x train tickets plus parking at the station.

Ok, seeing as works paying, NCP are fine.

There's a few NCPs near Barbican, iirc.

Staying at Club Quarters perchance?

sadly (for me) im paying hence parking in the centre and not jumping on the express.

id rather pay £20 and knwo car is safe than pay £10 and get it knicked.

Don't think your car will be nicked unless its rare or super duper expensive car, Barbican is a wealthy persons area IMO.

On-street parking should be free from 6:30PM on Saturday and all day Sunday. Might be all day Saturday, but check the signs.
