Friends want to go to an Embassy in Queensgate from East Sussex but
want to take the car to a railway station just outside London and then
catch overland train into London then tube to Gloucester Road. Can
anyone suggest somewhere suitable to leave the car, either (cheap!)
car park or quiet road not far from a station? They're thinking
perhaps Croydon or near? TIA

When approaching via the M23/A23 I've sometimes parked in the residential
roads to the west of Brighton Road in Purley - eg Grovelands Road and
Downlands Road. They are only 5-10 mins walk to Purley station.

Alternatively, you can always (in my experience) park in the Fairfields
multistorey in central Croydon, which is very handy for East Croydon
station with its frequent fast trains, but the parking is not cheap.
