I guess I should be saying that one could avoid adding to the
congestion and pollution and could also save oneself the hassle of
driving into central London by doing 'The Right Thing' and making use
of a public transport option.

I am planning to do "the right thing" as you put it, and use a public
transport system. It's just that, unlike most times when I visit
London, I will be starting from a location that is not served by rail.
Hence the thread title being "park and train".


Please don't get the idea I was trying to be preachy, I really wasn't!
Hence the phrase 'The Right Thing' being capitalised and in inverted
commas! (And the impersonal use of "one instead of "you" was very
deliberate too.)

Indeed during past discussions on these two newsgroups I've actively
countered the common notion that London is some sort of impassable
mass which is impossible to drive through. Which does somewhat bring
me into conflict with my other self, the public transport proponent!
I'll readily admit to a degree of hypocrisy here.

Anyway I trust the various suggestions have been useful, I hope you've
ignored my "obvious" yet fairly rubbish suggestion of Hillingdon, and
wonder if you might update us with whatever choice you make in the end
and tell us how well it worked.
