Best place to park for Olympia if official car park is sold out?

[Cheiro1]

We are heading down to Olympia on the Wednesday night for the dressage.

It would cost about £100 per person to get the train from here. If I drove down is there places to park which are walking distance from Olympia?

Thank you

if you or a friend has a sat nav you can put in parking places and it will show them to give you some idea, look a local shop up on google see if they will put an ad in the window to hire someones drive for £20 for the night.

You'd be better off driving down to a tube station/mainline that has parking and doing the rest by tube or train.

on google earth there is a 400+ car park spot on seagrave road maybe about a mile away.

You could check out Just Park, where people rent their parking spaces/driveways, I'm sure you could find something nearbye. We are with them as live near Gatwick so rent out spaces on our driveway and all very easy and safe to use.

Westfield Shopping Centre - you could either walk from there or get an overground train.

There is an NCP car park just off Earls Court road, that is probably the car park that neddy man has seen on google maps

That's not a car park any more, it's having flats built on it.

I would be another one to suggest driving to a suburban tube station with a car park and coming in from there on public transport.

Thanks all, just park was a fab suggestion - a driveway less than 10 minutes walk away all booked!

The performance is sold out so any local parking is going to be a bit of a nightmare. There are loads of small back streets around there - but I don't know if they are residents only. In your place I'd drive to a nearby station and train it the rest of the way.

Yes we used Just Park last year, was excellent about 10 min walk and no hassle. No going this year - shame! Hope you have a fabulous time.

You will definitely be able to get reasonable priced parking at Westfield Shopping Centre (if you register in advance to pay with their windscreen pass using PayPal you even get a discount). It's probably a 15min walk from there to Olympia or you can hop on the overground.

You will not be able to find any on street parking - it's all residents parking in that area.
