Going down to London Thursday and figure i will drive as the train is expensive ( plus i can claim 40p pm in the shed anyway! biggrin)

Any pointers on where to park/tube it just off the M40/A40? Got to get to Olympia at 1030...

I always park up in Ealing there is an NCP car park that works out at £2 per day and then a walk of about 0.5mile to Ealing Broadway tube station. Its easy to get to from the M40! Punch in Ealing on here:

And should be top of the list, Ealing North something like that.

Could save you a fortune!

I always go for Surbiton, but I used to live there. Train to Clapham and change there for Olympia

We have a winner! biggrin Any reason i should walk to Ealing Broadway rather than North Ealing to Earls Court (about 17 mins)?

No reason at all, I didnt notice first time around where you were trying to get to and Ealing Broadway is on the central line so would take you in the middle somewhere. Ive always found it easy to park at the car park.
