It's been a long time since I've had to take the bike into central London. Used to be able to park it pretty much anywhere back in the day!
I've got a meeting in EC1 on Friday 24th June - right between train strike days.
Meeting not until the afternoon so it likely I'm going to be able to find anywhere to park? CB500x so its small! Don't want to get there find nowhere to park and I'm stuffed. Won't be finished until 9pm ish.
Anyone got any ideas/advice? Will be coming in from Kent direction.

Not sure specifically where you need to be but the City of London Corporation carpark up by London Wall or the NCP in Finsbury Sq are both perfectly fine. The NCP in Finsbury Sq does look a bit moody but I've parked there without issue.

The street level bike bays in Finsbury Sq are not always full (outside the old Bloomberg building).

More specifically where do you need to park? EC1 is a fairly large area when you are in full bike gear and need to walk to a meeting - which street do you need as might be able to recommend somewhere closer

Meeting is in Montague St. - If I had any influence at all it would be on Teams or Zoom but I'm pretty much the lowest of the low.

Thanks for all the suggestions - appreciated.

Montague St WC1 ?

There's an NCP on Bloomsbury Sq you could use?
