Secure Motorcycle Parking - E1

[Lee540]

Did a little search on Google but couldn't find what I was looking for.

Does anyone know of secure motorcycle parking in London - E1? I don't mind to pay but I want to know that whatever I am riding, it will be there when I come home. I am in London at the moment 3-4 days a week.

Currently I am parking my 'hack' in Minories, Tower Hill.. I can never get there early enough to park near a railing, either that, or most of those bikes never move.

Bikes are still being stolen from here on a weekly basis despite attendants walking around constantly.

I want to purchase a new bike, the hack is getting a bit tired now and I have an opportunity to replace it but I'm getting bike theft paranoia after already having one stolen in 2015.

Cheers,

Of all the places in that area, i would say that's the safest.
I used to park the RSVR there, feeling confident that it had a good chance of being there when i got back.
There is sod all street furniture, in the local area, that will allow you to chain up the bike.

What time do you get to London, i found that when i parked around 8am, i was able to get to the railing.
Maybe leave a bit earlier?

That was my feeling as well.. I'm coming in from quite far out, about 1.5 hour journey time, I get in around 9 and always get a space, I did request for them to install anchor points for chains against the open side but nothing has appeared yet.

I've started to see nicer bikes in there recently now the roads dried up a bit, the all seem to only have a single disc lock..

Whereabouts in E1 as its a reasonably sized post code, and how far are you prepared to walk ?

I am currently parking in Minories, as above.. and walking to Gowers Walk, just past Leman Street.. about 7-8 minutes away.

Parking in City of London and walking in Tower Hamlets..

As you’re prepared to pay, have you looked and searched via https://www.justpark.com

They provide both commercial and private parking spaces. If you’re lucky and find a secure private space owners will often agree an ongoing fee for exclusive use? Alternative would be an NCP type job or a local hotel with secure parking?

Good luck.
