Supercar friendly parking lots (kerbs/space)
Discussion
Looking for a thread with good locations for parking low/wide cars and have struggled to find anything beyond "anywhere good in location xyz?" So thought I'd start a thread where we can all contribute locations we're comfortable parking in.
NCP London Vintry Thames Exchange - plenty of extra wide spaces, kerbs but not too tight and decent space to navigate around.
NCP London Cadogan Place - friendly security who showed me to a good wide space. Plenty of supercars/super luxuries of course given the location. Kerbs but not too tight and decent space to navigate around.

Good idea for a thread.
I asked this question for central Leeds recently, ended up parking in The Light which is a QPark and is several basement levels. I found it was fine for my 991.2 GT3 and the second level down was pretty quiet with decent sized spaces and newly refurbished. Pretty expensive which presumably keeps it quieter.
Other contributors recommended the John Lewis car park and there were a few other suggestions but I don’t have first hand knowledge of any. The thread is in the Yorkshire sub forum.

Your Parking Space private space at Raymond Court, Wimbledon London SW19 4AR.
Above ground, slight slope at the entrance but fine with a low car without lift, security gates and no worrying kerbs. Space was reasonable although not too large but could get the F12 in without too much difficulty.

Slightly left-field reply, but always book "High Vehicle" on the Channel Tunnel - costs no more and I've never had any issues once we arrive!
Very good recommendation! I've booked this for le mans next year as was advised by Motorsport travel destinations that all the exotica fits better there but I think they said expect an extra 60 sheets on the cost.I thought the website automatically detects a wide/low car based on your number plate? I went to Le Mans this year in our F8 (no lift) and the wider carriage was very simple to get onto and off with more space either side before you encounter the metal kerbs. Plus around Le Mans time you get to see some other nice stuff parked in front of and behind you. Chatted to a father and son on their way down in their GT3 which made 40 minutes underground pass very quickly…

Tip avoid Westfield Shopping Centre like the plague unless you want to ruin your alloys and tyres.
tbf you can say that or most supermarkets and shopping centres, gyms, airports and pretty much anywhere in the UKA lot of these places were built when the average car was the size of an Escort Mk3. Which isn't an excuse for Westfield I guess!
The huge amount of SUVs doesn't help, Range Rover and XC90 seem to be everywhere in London. If one of those is in the space next to you you better be driving a 60s Fiat 500, else your doors are gonna clash
