Does such a thing exist? In my day you could park more or less anywhere, so long as you weren't causing an obstruction. Used to park on the pavement all the time but they've clamped down now, of course.

Have been searching for a map showing m/c bays marked on it - particularly for Westminster. Thus far, no luck.

Westminster website lists them all. On the road is a pound a day or £3.50 a week. In a bike bay in the underground carparks is free. What area are you visiting?

Is it a regular spot your after or a one off? I can sort you out with free parking at my work but its near to Euston / Euston Square.

Westminster on Saturday - on off. But intending to visit London more regularly this year, so having an idea of where to look for bays would be ideal.

Managed to park last year - but finding the m/c bays was a huge pain in the arse.

Many thanks for the offer Very Happy But hoping to get as near to Hyde Park as possible as covering two events there on Saturday (WNBR and Big If protest).

If there's a space in the place I parked last time, fine. If not...just can't find my way around any more Embarassed The Westminster site doesn't appear to show m/c bays on their map.

I've used it many times to find the odd bay when out and about.

Also very useful Thumbs Up Offer is much appreciated but I should be OK now I have a general idea where the bike parking areas are.

I'm sure things used to be more simple. Or maybe it's just age catching up with me Shocked
