Motorbike parking chancery lane

[A993LAD]

Just starting a new job in chancery Lane.

Sadly my new office has no parking whatsoever. Which is a bit annoying as I was spoilt at my old place with a lovely underground car park.

Any tips for motorbike parking anywhere close by gratefully received.

Pretty sure there's a big section of bike parking in the centre of Holborn just down from Chancery Lane station as you go towards Sainsbury's HQ (so towards the City) - very "public" so may mean it's a little more secure. Not sure how busy it gets though, and you almost certainly need to pay for it.

We've got a small office in Chancery Lane that I occasionally visit, park on Lincolns Inn Fields round the back.

Found this useful when I changed offices from one with its own parking compound to one without.

Lots of bike parking around chancery lane. Your issue is going to be getting there early enough to get a spot. It was easy when I first started, but by the time I left over 5 years ago it was impossible any time after 7am

Most London bars are easy to get parked in at the minute, commuters numbers into the city and west end are still well down, plus the FWBs will be putting it away soon.

I've used the central bay on Holborn loads, no issues.

I work near Chancery lane and park under Smithfield meat market and walk up, quite secure and has staff walking about keeping an eye on things - Free for bikes.

Thats actually a really good shout, I used to work in the offices directly above the market and parked in there, bike parking is free too and easy to chain up

your biggest issue now is not parking, its working out a F***ing route that allows you to get there without going through "controlled zones" and bus gates and a million other traffic restrictions. unless its pre 7am or the 30th of Feb

honestly driving me mad how hard its getting to ride to work these days

London streets are a mess with crazy micro rules with limited warning.
Write to TFL street space / the Department for Transport / your MP / Grant Shapps / join the Motorcycle Action Group.
Am not sure that Sadiq cares much about what he has done to the city, however.
I never ride now without Waze activited on my phone, on the bars, calling out the restrictions - which is mad really when I used to have a pretty good knowledge. But I don’t think that there is another way.
