[hurricane344]

Ok Guys,
So I'm a bit precious about leaving my car out at night on my drive let alone in a strange (to me) city centre but needs must as I have a do to go to Sat night in Bristol, Anyone got any reccomendations of where is safe to leave the P and J in Bristol Centre and still find it in one piece sunday morning !!
Not sure about the 2 NCPs and not being a local not sure where else to start !!

When we go to the Colston Hall we use College St.

Always get parked, never had an issue. If you're lucky there are some outdoor spaces and a couple have nothing adjacent to them, so no door dings. If not, the indoor one is fine.

Trenchard street is fine, cheap, safe.

Don't bother with the Queen Charlotte Street NCP. It is bad enough in there in the day time ! We use the NCP on Prince Street. It's got more cameras and the top 2 floors are normally pretty empty, so lots of space for paranoid parkers (like me)

I always use the NCP Broadmead which is next to the Marriot Hotel. I'm not sure about safety but there are lots of big spaces and a number without anything on both sides of the car if you are worried about damage. I've parked there a number of times - last time for about 3 or 4 days without an issue.

I'd recommend this as well as long as your car isnt too big.. quite tight from what I can remember

Yup 4th floor either of the end spots facing Prince Street in front of you when you get up the ramp or the spot next to the hotel entrance.

Agreed. The reason I don't use it is that everyone going to the Colston Hall parks there and it can take ages to get out after a gig.

I tend to use the underground Millenium Square car park. Secure, cameras, well lit, walk through Watershed etc.

What's the one the otherside of the road from there across the footbridge in Cabot Circus.

I've parked there several times and been impressed with the size of the spaces and the fact that it's really well lit.

ETA - I just checked and spookily enough, it's called Cabot Circus Car Park ..... who'd have thunk it?

I think I have seen your BMW in one of those spots.

Mine is Silver with red interior and yes you would have seen it on the 4th for at least 6 months, the white one used the top of ramp space on 3rd floor unless some git parked in the 2 I used on 4th and I would steal his space as it was wide.

I no longer work in town thank god and they finally resurfaced Prince street, I had my O/S suspension replaced after I left.

Back to working from home or flying out somewhere I hated working in the centre.

Never use floor 5 it is the service floor for deliveries and linen lots of cages running around.

That sounds familiar. Nice car

I work at home as much as possible to avoid driving into the centre. It just seems to be getting worse too


The top level of the 5th floor is the service level I believe, but you can't park up there anyway.

This would get my vote.

Thank you fella, I do try to keep her sweet and polished.

It has been my first work in office for 15 years I hated every moment.

Glad it is over. The center can be a mix of **********

I will leave that there, but who owns the white BMW on floor 3 ? Has to be one of us on here

Learnt that the hard way, once! Always arrive early, Park on the exit levels. If you arrive after 6, pay for your parking immediately.
