Commuting to Hammersmith: Best Way?
Discussion
Dear PH friends,
My work will shortly be taking me to Hammersmith on a daily basis and I need a reliable / swift (i.e the best) way of getting there.
I live in Crowthorne.
I've been considering driving to Richmond and taking the tube the remainder of the way.
Is this an advisable route or is there an alternative?
All help / advice appreciated.
Si.

True. I'd considered that as well.
I just thought the train may be quicker if used part-way.
Then there's getting home again and I have assumed that taking the train out of London would be easier.
Getting in isn't the worry as I know I'll be in early. Getting home 'expediently' is the concern as I don't know what time I'll be leaving work by. That consequently affects the inward trip.

The problem with that is getting to Reading. I could go from Crowthorne station but then I'd like to drive and at least get some quality car time.
I've done Paddington before and went from Maidenhead, so it's a possibility.
If you're using the Western line then you would be better of getting off at Ealing Broadway and taking the District to Hammersmith. You'd be off the train sooner and avoid the mad rush at Paddington and the walk to the District platforms is closer at Ealing Bdy.

Barnes or Morden and park there - again plenty of FOC parking
Where in Barnes is there free parking?I've commuted in from Reading to Hammersmith for the past 4 years... currently park in the kings mall car park at £15-£20 per day depending on how long I am in the office.
afaik Barnes is all zone controlled parking.
I had a stint parking in Harrods village and walked over the bridge, that was good, but our company has given up the leases on the flats we had there, so I'm back at the mall.
