I will be making a few trips up to London next year for training purposes, specifically the Marriott hotel in Maida Vale. As I don't know London that well riding wise I just wondered where the best places to park the bike would be.

I'll be taking my chain and disc locks - I'm assuming I'll need them!

Get an app called UK motorcycle parking and another one called London motorcycle parking, often helpful, if in westminster, pay a pound or get caught (like I did once).
Take all the locks you can and expect some twat to park a scooter uncomfortably close to your bike. Points are awarded after leaving town for killed pedestrians.

As above, get the apps. The scooter assholes are a real issue, so expect to have to lift and shift when you want to get out at the end of the day.

That said, the Kilburn High Road doesn't really count as central London, in my opinion, so the riding won't be too scary. There's a solo/mc-only bay just around the corner from that hotel, on Kilburn Priory, here. I suspect you'd have to get there very early for a spot, though.

Can you claim back the parking expenses? If so, there's on site parking.
