Have you tried one of the show-goers travel package deals? You can often get pretty good deals from out of town that include the return train fare, tube fares and entrance to the exhibition. I'm sure there will be plenty of parking at Swindon Station on a weekend and it can only be cheaper and safer than Central London. Also do you have to pay congestion charge at the weekend? 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

Maybe you could politely ask James at Lookers Park Royal to park there - then jump on to the Tube at Park Royal Underground and travel along the Piccadily Line to Earls Court Underground ...

...about 6 stops away (20 mins) - also - well outside the Congestion Charge Zone (although not applicable Saturdays anyways) and your RR is close to hand should you need to return to pick up that bargain Plasma, Lawnmower, Fishtank, Bar B Que etc.

However, I guarantee he will have appraised your RR as p/ex for another upon your return! Twisted Evil...

...you have been warned!

nice idea delamo, thanks...i think we will be parking next to earls court at a cost of £20 up to 6 hours..the tube would probably cost as much .. ... - .- -.

Get hold of an Oyster card at the station and you should only use about £4 worth of credit per person for a return journey between those 2 stations - google Oyster Card information and use their route planner/prices service - just to make sure what I am suggesting is correct though!

i was thinking of parking at my usual london parking by queensway tube station and doing what you suggested in taking the tube to earls court , but for the bother i'll pay the extra few quid and park right next door ...which will be handy when the wife buys loads of useless stuff that we dont need ,dont really want to drag all that on the tube... ... - .- -.
