I need to be in London early tomorrow from the North, before the first
train from anywhere useful arrives. In this case I usually drive to
Finchley Central and use the capacious car park there, but I've just
found out that neither the Northern nor Vic is running where I need to go
(Waterloo at 07.12 !)

I thought the TfL site had car park details but can't find it with their
search box. Has anyone any suggestions for a station with at least
moderate parking, not too far out and near-ish the M1, on another line
please ? Somewhere like Neasden perhaps ?

Failing that, how reliable is Thameslink from Luton at oh dark hundred
on a Saturday morning ?

Thankyou,

Nick

I was going to suggest Stanmore as it is minutes from the M1.

I see from the link that Wembley Park is also an option.

Thanks very much, Paul.

Even knowing it's there I still can't find it with the search box (it
seems to be obsessed with cycle parking), so double thanks in fact.

Looks good. I don't expect to be awake enough to do the Met/Jubilee
shuffle even if it works at that time in the morning, but to be honest
I will probably just want to collapse onto a train anyway

Thankyou again

Actually - the Journey Planner reckons it does, and every five minutes
too, albeit if it's running well you get the Jubbly that only left one
or two minutes earlier. Worth remembering though in case that's how
the times work out.

I really must go to bed now,
