So I start a new job in January which is great apart from a lack of motorcycle parking. Nearest indoor car park is

15 Whites Row, Spitalfields, London, E1 7NF

Anyone else used this place, their website says they have 300 bike parking places?

it's as safe as any public multi store car park in London

The Royal London hospital is near there - free motorbike parking as long as you don't take up a car space. I go there for work at least once a week and just park in the motorbike bay or if it is full I bump up onto the pavement.

Gracechurch Street, bit of a desert when it comes to bike parking.

Welcome to the neighbourhood! I park in Finsbury Square, which is about a 15-minute walk from Gracechurch street. It's not indoors, but free. Islington, in general, has a lot of m/c spots that are still free, so if you don't mind walking a bit...

If you want indoors and more secure, there's the London Wall car park, which was recommended to me by a member here who is ex-City of London Police. The bike spots have a secure railing to chain to. I've not tried it. They claim 128 slots.

They are knocking it down in the near future, much to the annoyance of Ripper bods as the private street/murder site next to it is likely to disappear during the redevelopment.

There is a free motorcycle bay in Tenter Ground adjacent to White's Row NCP car park, but it fills up quickly.
