Default Driving into London from Dorking

Hello Everyone,

I'm planning a trip to England, will be there very soon and was trying to
figure a way into the city without having to take the rail (4 of us costs
over 30 pounds) or drive all the way there, since parking can be either a
nightmare, very very expensive, or just plain impossible.

Can anyone (or everyone) suggest to me the best way to drive to let's say to
a distant tube station, park for the day, and take the tube into the city?

I'm coming from the Dorking area and would greatly appreciate cost effective
ways to get as close to London as possible without hitting its main
congestion.

Thank You,




How much more is a day travelcard from Dorking (ie including return
from Dorking to Boundary Zone 6 and an all zones travelcard) than an
all zones day travelcard from wherever you can drive to?

I just think that you would spend quite a lot of the £30 on travel
within London anyway, even having driven part of the way (with all the
hassle of parking instead of just staying on a train).
