Any Londoners here?

[Lasse Lammert]

We're playing the underworld next month, but would rather not drive through London ourselves (camper vav), sonde were all used to driving on the right side...and I guess London would be a rather extreme city to start driving on the left side...
So we're looking for someone with a valid license and driving experience to help us out for that one show...
Anyone interested?

u mean "underworld", do you? Wish I had a car... :-(

 

[greyskull]

Word of warning. There's zero parking around the underworld. You gotta dump the gear then have the driver park up somewhere at an extortionate rate per hour.

 

[Lasse Lammert]

Thanks..yeah, underworld of course, damn auto-correct.
Well, we have tha car/van, just need a driver (if our regular aussi guy can't make it, I'll know in a day or two).

 

[Deadstar]

when are u playing btw? might be cool to see ya for a beer or five.. agree about the 0 parking, the last time my friends from Fleshgod Apocalypse really had to run for their lives after the show, try to plan the parking issue in advance and save some money for the booze.

This might come handy

Awesome info, thanks.

Don't know whether the Morrisons car park is a viable option?
I think it's pay and display, but it's probably cheaper and closer than most available parking spaces, probably the least hassle as it's only a couple of hundred metres down the road...
It closes at 23:00 so you would be ok for time too.

well Morrison's car park up here allow you to park for 2 hours i think after that you will be fined.

 

[ratsapprentice]

I can guarantee it's not free, Camden has zero parking, so offering free parking would be lunacy from a business standpoint.

I'm actually in London that evening! If I'm not too destroyed from the weekend, I might show up

 

[Lasse Lammert]

Awesome!

This.

They have cameras that monitor when you leave so if you stay over the maximum period (think it's 2 hours) you get fined.


There's usually a few spots outside the underworld (or on the road to the left of it) that are free after 6ish.

Ps watch out for the used syringes in the loading bay.

Not kidding.

 

[Lasse Lammert]

Thanks everyone.
Did I mention that this is a paid job?

Hmm I might be able to find a free parking permit nearby-ish. Watch this space.

If you can't find anywhere closer, then as a fall-back plan you can park for free on this estate: https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=51.542218,-0.127802&num=1&t=h&z=17

It's not as bad as it looks.
