Need to find a pub in wapping or london bridge

[Eddie 4.2]

Does anyone know a pub in wapping or london bridge area, with parking for about 40-50 cars on a sunday morning.
Or any other place near by with some sort of parking
Got a couple of places in mind just looking for some more ideas


Thanks Eddie 4.2

40-50 cars in a pub carpark in central London is never going to be easy... probably better to meet at say the Tescos on the Old Kent Road and go from there. Even that is normally busy at all times.

One of the Wapping locals will more than likely be along soon to suggest somewhere

I can't think of any pubs in Wapping with parking for more than a handful of cars outside, and none that I can think of have off-street parking anyway.

If you do want to risk parking 40 TVRs on the street, then the Prospect of Whitby is the best of the lot as the roads outside are usually quite clear (there are often 2/3 coaches parked there, so plenty of room), but just make sure that you don't leave anything on display inside the cars.

Not sure about south of the river, but I would be very surprised if you had much more luck there...

Oh, and watch out for the 6 speed cameras in the Limehouse Link (start, middle and end of each tunnel), and the two on The Highway. Also keep an eye out for the SPECS cameras (and GATSOs) when you head down towards the Embankment as the road turns into a 20 mph zone...

Can you still get in the Dome car park? B&Q Beckton? Billingsgate market?

[Laingy]

lots of ncp's in canary wharf and a few bars by the river.

Ed, how bout that bar across the river from Wapping??? Remember going there a few years back but can't remember whether it had a carpark or not, looks like there's alot of space over there from where I'm sitting at the moment....T.

Is it called Spice Island????

[ehasler]

Not sure - never been there despite looking at it most evenings

To be honest, Phil's suggestion of the B&Q car park at Becton may be the best option, plus you get a nice run back into the city past City Airport.

That carpark isn't very big if I remember correctly. My mate lives around there. Even he can't recommend the area.

quite a bit.

[slamm]

Yeah Rotherhithe/Bermondsey - lovely area - I grew up in Surrey Quays where we had shootings outside our house and every wheel nut was nicked off our Discovery!

My sister's husband was the RO for the Audi Quattro club in London and they went to Spice Island for one of the meets. That said, I think they had 10 cars rather than 40 plus. The only other place I can think of with off-street parking is Canary Wharf itself (obviously the cars would be underground ).

Thanks all found something

Just wondering if you guys realize the Limehouse link is closed tommorrow - think there'll be a lot of traffic overspill to the other tunnels in the area. Maybe best to stay clear of that part of town chaps (although I dare say it won't be too bad start of the day).

PS This info is from the missus so if I'm wrong its her fault!!
