I have to park near Farringdon St tonight (close to where it's crossed by the Holburn Viaduct. I'm planning to park just off the Strand near Savoy place as I know ut's free after 6.30pm - but its a 20 min walk. Anyone know any on street parking nearer? Google street view suggests there isnt much?

Gives you all the controlled zones in Islington.

Actually, you said holborn viaduct - this may be a better option:

This will show you what the restrictions are.

Good luck!

Hatton Garden is, I believe, free after 6.30. You could park on Bowling Green Lane nr the Surprise pub which is definately free then and about a 5-7 minute walk. There's a few side roads off Grays Inn Road (nxt to Chancery lane Tube) which are also free after then.
