Royal Albert Hall parking.

[Graham W]

I'm photographing a band at The Royal Albert Hall at the end of the month (A Sunday).
Does anyone have any suggestions for parking afternoon and evening? The thought of driving in London fills me with horror.

Coming from Derby? If you can't use the train all the way then I'd try to park at a major underground station on the outskirts (only a couple of quid at Hillingdon for example) and use that for the last leg.

Otherwise NCP have a carpark that can be booked that's half a mile away.

On a Sunday you should have no difficulty in finding on street (free!) parking near to the Albert Hall.

Click on the street button at the bottom and it will show you.

I always park at the O2 and tube in.
It isn't expensive so long as there's nothing huge on at the O2.

You can also park at the University next door.

That's where my sons have parked when going to gigs at the Albert Hall, reasonably cheap and can be prebooked.

Another +1 for the Hillingdon or Ickenham suggestion - I use Ickenham personally as slightly cheaper in the week but nothing between them at the weekend.

Piccadilly line then direct to Royal Albert Hall - 45 mins.

Free after 5pm weekdays and weekends on the street outside. Parents live round there, so I use it quite a bit to go into London.

Thanks for the advise folks. I think we'll be looking at on street parking close to the hall, or book somewhere close by.
I don't think parking out of town and catching "The Tube" is an option as it will be past midnight when we get out of the hall and we'll be carrying at least £25.00 worth of gear between us...that and we're from the Midlands and we don't understand subterranean railway systems.

What gear have you got, just a battery?

That was just my little joke...we'll be carrying considerably more than that.

+1 for free street parking outside RAH. We’ve been numerous times and have always parked directly outside the hall (across the road).

Yeah street parking FTW. But if you lose your nerve (or want to try it on a non Sunday) then this site is very handy.

I got all day parking at Tower Bridge (j-u-s-t outside the zone) for £9 on a weekday.

As was my reply, not a particularly dodgy part of London.
Now had it been the Hackney Empire

Thanks for your help.
