Central London - "friendly" car parks for Ferraris ...

[gstar]

For those willing to share - trying to identify a handful of friendly car parks in (a) city (around moorgate/bank) and (b) west end (around mayfair). Friendly means - I think - secure, easy meandering to keep alloys intact, wide parking bays to keep doors intact and possibly underground. Pricing is a factor but would think people are happy to pay premium if all boxes are checked.

Another way to approach this perhaps - any car parks one should steer away from!

the car park underneath London wall is fairly safe.

i often see a couple of exotic cars in there when i go in to work.
entrance is on london wall going east, at the museum of London end just before you get to the building that straddles the road.

it's £3 per hour i think....my work gives me a season ticket so i dont know for sure.

Not under the Royal Garden Hotel as it cost me £230 for 24hrs!!!!

£30 for the parking and £200 for the 4 wheel refurbs.

When I worked over in Holborn I used to park here: http://www.camden.gov.uk/ccm/content/contacts/non-...

My Ferraris and Lambos were always fine there

Before that I used to work near Bond Street and parked the Ferrari here: http://www.allinlondon.co.uk/directory/1071/29359....


It's not the easiest carpark to get into but there are a lot of nice cars there

London wall one metioned earlier is fine, no kerbs near the parking area, easy entrance - getting out is a slow process with a kerb on the passenger so bike are seperated from cars but take it slow its fine.

another good one is behind gaucho grill on sloane avenue (name of road) near the michelin building/restaurant - easy in and out - laods of cars better then ferrari in there!

another easy one is quarter way down the kings road (coming from the sloane square end) on the left hand side, follow the parking signs.. a nice daytona in there let alone bentleys the lot, they also have those car lift things for long term resident parking

I always scrape my front spoiler when entering that car park!!!

Harley St NCP - always quiet and loads of extra wide spaces near the parking attendant's office

There's a good one on Acacia Road in St Johns Wood which whilst not strictly in the areas you specified, isn't far in a cab. A friend keeps his motor there and there is always a nice selection to peruse. Very secure and decent spaces - many are individual with a wall on each side.

there used to always be an F50 in there, must of needed a fair bit of help to get in there

One on London wall is good, the other one in the city I park in is the one near Blackfriars bridge under the VW dealer on Lower Thames Street. Some seriously nice cars in there (one of the reasons I park there!)

Portman Sq NCP is pretty good - usually a selection of exotica parked on the ground floor.

Personally, I would avoid the Grosvenor Hotel car park (on Reeves Mews/Park St) at ALL costs.

Resurrecting a very old thread... the Q-Park on Park Lane, under Hyde Park, is excellent.

[HIS LM]

10 years ago man !!!!!

[gstar]

10yrs on from my original post.. we now have Boris' legacy of narrower roads, more double parked white vans and less parking... that being said, I am a daily parker at Q Park Park Lane... all the space and polish one needs. Ps went on a nice drive to Champagne... was nice having Eurotunnel staff push me into the higher carriages as car was too low for the 2 tier carriage ramps.

[Felonious]

Have you ever used the detailing people at the Park Lane Q-Park? I’ve been tempted, but never tried them.

[gstar]

About 3 ys ago - they did a great job and also can skin your car... something I have thought about but subtely and skinning your car don't easily mix, so have refrained... maybe when gumball rally comes past again might be an idea for 3k

[LordOfTheManor]

Really friendly supercar car park at Chinatown Covent Garden.
Lots of Ferrari’s and 918 spyders parked there.
Not the cheapest but one of the safest

Thanks. I'll likely give them a go next time I use that car park. They always seem to be busy with wheel re-furbs (either that or lots of Rangies get their wheels stolen while they're down there) so I assume they must be fairly well regarded.

[gstar]

Agree. Big on wheel refurbs... low profile tyres and Ldn kerbs. Hotels - Grosvenor - use Q Park plenty. I figure best just blast all your rims b4 a refurb as cheaper to do in one go.
