Anyone know what Hatton Garden is like for free bike parking? Got to go tomorrow and although i've had a bit of a look, i'm really not sure what the deal is with it in that area.

Any advice?
Cheers!

Parkopedia.co.uk suggest there's free street parking along Hatton Garden tomorrow afternoon.

Yep free bike parking everywhere in that area the worst you'll have is a short walk. There's one onHatton Garden itself and another on Holborn at that end of Hatton Garden

It's free at the moment but I believe Camden will shortly be introducing charging, but not this weekend.

If they are he can park down on Farringdon Street (not road) and take a few minutes walk.

I happened to be driving down there this morning, taking the other half over the river and it's quite shocking how much it has changed.
back in the day there was parking for bikes down the centre of the road from the Viaduct to almost Fleet Street as well as additional parking outside and across the road from Ernst and Young at 4 Plumtree Court so space for likely a hundred to a hundred and fifty bikes that was 80%+ in use during the week.
Its all changed since the cycleways were built, less than half the spaces now and oversubscribed.

I suppose this is progress.

Blimey, i think i'm losing it as i'd completely forgotten i'd posted this. Maybe i was somewhat 'over relaxed' at the time...

Thanks for all the responses. I ended up parking quite close in the end, at the top of Hatton Garden on a side road. I was warned by some courier guys that it was really unsafe around there, so make sure i lock it up properly. But, i couldn't get my lock to fit anything on the bike as there's very little room between the shackle and lock, so ended up using a heavy lock someone had left on a ground anchor. Wasn't locked but at least it very much looked like it Smile

I was surprised how seedy and depressing it was around there. Had a completely different expectation of it before i went.

Not too bad in Summertime but on a grey day it's very depressing.
