Very quiet during the week. Free parking in the evening and no restrictions.
Avoid weekend as it is full of clubs and it gets really busy with cars.
There is a pub called the Black Dog good for a pint before going to sleep. Also good breakfast served there. There is also the Theatre Cafe, an old whorehouse converted into a coffee place.
It is within the Congestion Charge but just 2 minutes away from Westminster.
new covent garden the market itself just google a market stall and wright a delivery note go up to barrier pay youre £5 to enter plenty of parking and can walk thro to sainsbury’s there are toilets and loads of cafes too for the morning
same at new spitalfields fruit mkt only its free in there
Smithfield meat Market. Bottom end near the old poultry warehouse there are a few parking bays marked out. Free & close to city. Lots of cafes & bars. It’s supposed to be for trucks delivering into the Market only & traffic wardens do check. But all you need is a delivery note with a name on it. Sure u can sort that.
i wentto the hyde park coach park and tried there the other week said it was ok for truckers to park there.but the night i got there the place was full.only thing it is £25 to park over night but u have to be early to get a spot and be able to park it in a good spot to get out.ended up on ascot road up willisden way next to a makro store and bus depot.not to bad not that noisy
but I am affraid that it’s not a good idea, as it was only small street and if there would be more cars parked, i couldn’t park there. Also, there is no parking for over 5 tons as far as I know, but as there was couple of DHL lorries parked there I took my try.
It was good to sleep, if you like blues brothers - trains was passing me every few seconds
So do you know some places, and preferably where is legal to park (can be paid, company returns me everything).

Hi orys, dont really know of anywhere in central london but you might want to try western road, nw10. Its on the other side of the A406 to that motor bike cafe (ace cafe) that you mentioned in another post. Its a service road that surounds a 24hr asda store and a police vehicle compound in the road as well so pretty safe. Not to sure of any food places near but like anywhere in london prob best not to wander around to far and as i said the asda is 24hrs.
I often see 2 or 3 of the fly by nite and stardes trucks parked there on way out or in to wembley i assume. Hope this helps mate.
I note that the Google map is innacurate. It shows both Stuarts Rd & Thessaly Rd (coming south off 9 elms) as crossing OVER the railtrack. Infact they both go UNDER low bridges.

HI.
I parked up on this industrial estate near there (as other lorries do), but it’s still too far from centre - in morning rush hour it can take even a two hours to go to Percival street for example
There used to be one on tooley st just south of tower bridge but i think that area has long been developed.Some one on here may know its a good 15yrs since ive been,ive been retired 7yrs.
but I am affraid that it’s not a good idea, as it was only small street and if there would be more cars parked, i couldn’t park there. Also, there is no parking for over 5 tons as far as I know, but as there was couple of DHL lorries parked there I took my try.

I have a few secret places in London which if I tell you I would have to kill you all
I have also caused 2 bomb scares Once while parked outside Somerset House on the Embankment. I went off to get something to eat and came back 2 hours later to find the truck surrounded with bomb disposal vehicles. They actually laughed and asked me where I would have slept if they had detonated it
The second one was while parked near an Hotel in Buckingham Gate waiting to clear out a new car launch, there were 6 transporters parked nearby and we had 10 minutes each to get them loaded. The bloke from Aston Martin brought me one of my cars and then lost the keys. A jobsworth traffic warden stuck a ticket on the truck and then called the bomb squad Even the bomb disposal team were reluctant to blow the doors off a brand new Vantage

Blimey mate is that the one that used to have the old railway carridge as a cafe,that burned down and was replaced by a cafe in the late 70s.
used to park on a small industrial estate off old oak common road, roads were telford way brunel way only able to get to it off the A40 as there is a low bridge on it coming from the north free parking but as doing euro work now don’t need it.
