  • Park and Ride western M25 for London – with a Sprinter van??

    So going to that London for 3 days in the summer holidays and looking for park and ride options between M40 and M23 junctions of M25. Slight extra difficulty in the form of medium wheelbase Sprinter van as our only vehicle! We want to get the train or tube into the centre.

    My ideas so far are:

    Somewhere on the Chiltern line near M40 such as Gerrards Cross, Beaconsfield
    Uxbridge tube station
    Gatwick airport

    Any ideas suggestions welcome – thanks :mrgreen:

    Depends which mainline station you want to arrive/leave London. London bridge Charging cross Victoria Waterloo or paddington?

    We are staying at St Pauls YHA so we’d be heading for St Pauls tube station on the Central line.

    If you are coming from M40 way then you want trainlines into Waterloo (IIRC roughly between M4 & A3!). Train much quicker than tube. From M40 I would suggest go to somewhere like Egham, takes you into Waterloo, take Waterloo & City (not sunday) to Bank, then 1 stop or walk to St Pauls.

    Cheers Egham looks like a good bet – nice and easy to get to from our M40 > M25. Car park at station doesn’t look bad and according to google streetview does not have a height restriction barrier that would prevent my 3 metre tall motorhome getting in!

    Thanks!

    Plenty of Park & Rides around Guildford – bus into town centre, train to Waterloo. No idea about height restrictions or multi day stops though.

    Guildford park and ride looks great except for the height restriction barriers…

    Near M40

    High Wycombe – train into London Marylebone

    or better still Twyford train into Paddington

    Twyford looks good for parking van style! H Wycombe appears to be multi-storey

    Guildford’s easy, you could even leave it outside my house, and then bus into the town for a couple of quid each.
