Parking at tube stations

[jgsandiego]

I am driving a car out of Canterbury and want to park at a tube station to avoid driving in London. What is the best tube station for parking and what are the chances of getting parking?

Hatton Cross near Heathrow is pretty good for parking, don't know if that helps...

Thanks! How about North Greenwich?

I would try Orpington.

Unfortunately, Kent itself isn't served by the tube, but I've managed to park at both Bexleyheath and Welling stations, and purchased a travelcard from there. The line goes straight into Central London (Victoria) and trains are fairly regular. Alternatively, You could try driving up to Essex and catching the tube from one of the stations there (Upminster, for instance). Worth mentioning as well is the National Express coach service which runs directly from Canterbury Bus Station, to Victoria Coach Station. It costs about a tenner return, and takes about two hours. Alternate coaches stop at Hempstead Valley and Bluewater shopping centres, so you can board there if you prefer.

Also, thanks to Orpington and beck. Have any of you ever parked at North Greenwich? Is that a good option? Thanks, again.
