Balham and Clapham South roads without parking restrictions

[viggyp]

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone can help please? I was just wondering if there are any roads close to either Balham and/or Clapham South tube stations that don't have any parking restrictions? I don't mind a 10-15 minute walk from the car to the stations, it would be handy just for one specific day. Google hasn't been my friend of late

Thanks in advance.

Appyparking is your friend, but the short answer is no!

Thanks anyway mate.

Plenty round Streatham Hill station when I lived there about 8 years ago...

Oh ok. I'll have a look the next time I'm around there. Thanks bud.

I live and drive around SW London.

There's an industrial estate near Earlsfield station that has one road with no restrictions. It's full by 6am.

The roads west of Southfields tube station up in the estates about 10 mins walk away are free, but again you'll be lucky to find a space.

I think generally everywhere is restricted now. About 10 years ago I knew a few mews off of Oxford St that had no yellow lines but alas the blasted yellow and red lines are everywhere.

When I was commuting in from Surrey, I'd park near Southfields tube (before I discovered the unrestricted roads) where there was a 130pm to 230pm restriction.

I'd come back in my lunchtime and move the car to a long road about 10mins walk from Earlsfield station where the restrictions stopped at 11am, then train back in.

All because I started too early for the commuter train and finished too late to get a train back home.

Now I'm back in London, and hating it, at least my commute is not a problem and it's cheap.

I am looking to park up on a Thursday night and collect it Friday after work as my GF lives in Balham and driving her and her sister to Heathrow on the evening.

I live in N London and didn't want to leg it home and drive to S London as the traffic will be rubbish.

From Balham station, go along the top of Tooting Bec common towards St Reatham and you should find somewhere along there.

Is that parallel to the train line going toward the Bedford pub?

Thanks for that HM. Google Maps is taking an age to load.

The roads around Streatham and Clapham high school at the Streatham end of Tooting Common are currently free of restrictions.

Like I say get the App Appyparking it lists all the current restrictions and where you can park.

Just downloaded it Mark. Cheers

And thanks to you Croyde.
