London Underground car parks

[muckymotor]

Is there a maximum stay?

If for example I was to park in the car park at Stanmore at 8am on a Saturday, could I leave my car there until 6pm Sunday?

I've done a search on the TFL site and can't find this info...

I believe you can. If you won the lottery last night...

There was a car park in Croydon when I worked there in the late 90's that we used to use on a project down there.

If you worked late, had a couple of beers and got a taxi home instead, it was cheaper to claim a lost ticket and pay the 24 hour rate than it was to admit that you'd parked in there for over 48 hours. Technology might have moved on (CCTV etc.,) but it might be worth looking into....

I occasionally use the underground carpark behind the Ritz in Piccadilly. You can leave your car there for as long as you like, the day rate was £19 when I used it a couple of months ago.

They normally do a special offer- the longer you leave it the less car you come back to;)

I remember years ago having to go to London to sit exams. My Dad drove me (I lived in TOrbay at the time, it was quite a trek!) We parked in this underground car park, didn't take a lot of notice of the cars until we got back, I was stunned. There were Bentley's, Roll Royce, Porche's and several other very expensive make cars that I can't remember, the worst of these cars were covered in dust (some cars had dust covers, we peaked under a couple, they'd obviously been there a while, just thought what a waste!

I'm not suggesting anyone does this but......
Car dealers, hire companies have been known to remove a car from a car park using the ticket from the car most recently parked.

Not sure how they get the last one out.

Tip; it worked really well in car parks where the first half hour was free
(typically in airport short stays)

Thanks for the answers so far.

Just to make it clear, I was asking about London Tube station car parks rather than general undergound parking. My fault for expecting everyone to be a mind reader

Possibly a good idea, I'll be heading in from the M1 though so anywhere close ish to there would be better.

Depends on your overdraft limit.

If I'm taking a nice car up to London I'll leave it under Cadogan Gardens or in Burlington Street, depending on where I'm planning to shop. Both are packed full of nice cars and perfectly safe, but you pay for the privaledge

If you're talking about a specific car park then you need to check to be sure, but you should just be able to leave it there as long as you want (at your own risk....). Obviously, it's going to cost you....

I am sure there is a weekend ticket type thing in place at Stanmore.

When in there check out the machine for options.

It shouldn't be much, maybe a couple of quid a day, mine is at Radlett which is as is Stanmore, pretty much dead at the weekends.

EDIT:

Here's the site you need - a quid a day each day.
