Hi All,

My name is Paul

After a few years away after an off I am back on 2 wheels. I have recently bought a CB500F which I plan to use to ride into London from Hertfordshire 1-2 times a week for a new job.

I work close to Gracechruch street and I am hunting around for a decent place to be able to park the bike.

Does anyone here use Minories car park?

Also I have noticed a pretty empty bike bay here https://www.google.com/maps/place/Seething+Ln,+London,+UK/@51.5100474,-0.0796221,19.54z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4876034dcdba480d:0x1c826eca1a154601!8m2!3d51.5103697!4d-0.0792026

I just wondered if anyone had an advice,thoughts on the above?

Anyways many thanks All

Paul

I've parked in Minories a few times, it feels relatively safe(ish).

I seem to remember at least one occasion of a bike being stolen from there a few years back, but then that could be said of almost anywhere in London so the lesson is to keep it securely locked up no matter where you decide to park it.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah I had a bike nicked in London a few years ago so don't fancy a repeat. Minories is the most secure but a good 10 minute walk from my office but probably safer than using one the bike bays which seemed to be rammed with scooters
