Where can I park for free in London?

If you're comfortable driving into London, you can park for free on Saturday and Sunday at Westminster, on Storey's Gate and surrounding roads. Single yellow lines and certain bays are fine, obviously check when you're there. I park there regularly on Saturday and never have a problem finding a space.

London offers a vast, reliable (mostly) network of public transport. So unless you live in an area with little public transport, or very far away from a public transport station, travelling in London is fairly easy. Groceries are delivered by all supermarkets, so no need to get a car just for that.
