I'm working in London tomorrow and Friday, and logistics have decreed that I need to drive in.

I'm working just across from Moorfields and staying at The Premier Inn half a mile away; can anyone suggest TVR friendly (no potholes, silly narrow paths and bends or sharp angles from (s)inclines to flat!), preferably covered, nearby? And preferably not costing a small mortgage!

I'm looking on Parkopedia now, but I don't think they will be explicit on suitability for low slung cars.

TIA smile

Only place I can think of would be the NCP Car Park in Finsbury Square.

Not sure how 'TVR Friendly' it is though!

If you can get there early (before 7.00 am - it opens at 6.00 am) there is a car park in Hearn Street, just off Curtain Road - I park there every day. Cost will be 10 quid. Carlos is the man who runs it. There may still be spaces later in the morning, I don't know.

There are usually some serious cars in there (not mine !!) Porsches are plentiful, R8 is there regularly... I have seen Ferraris and Maseratis.... TVR would fit in nicely.

I've found a couple nearby but no indication of the access is good. And some are not 24 hours, so won't be open when I arrive this evening.

Sounds ideal, but if it isn't 24 hours I am a bit stuffed as I won't be there until 21:30 - 22:00.

Using a NCP place on Great Eastern Street. Sort of TVR friendly as it has no ramps or tight turns, but interesting as it has a lift which requires some manoeuvring to enter and exit!

It isn't 24 hours but I was here so late yesterday that I left it on the road until this morning.

Assuming I don't crunch anything on the way out tomorrow evening, I will use it again.
