Favourite London Park and Ride options?

Cassiobury Park Avenue, Watford, then the Met Line in always used to be mine.
Although I have been appraised of a fantastic option not far from Parliament Hill, but I've forgotten it now...

I did that very route on Wednesday, funnily enough DeeGee. But even that option isn't cheap, at £18.30 for a day return!

Hi folks,

I've been watching this thread :-)

I've put together the first part of an automatic system that will handle all of this. The following page will show your nearest 50 parkruns, and allow you to add a review/description for each of the ones you've done. I reckon we can add extra stuff like loo info, advice on which coffee shop is best, route etc.

There isn't a bit YET that allows you to see other people's reviews, but that shouldn't be too hard to incorporate. On top of that, I'm planning to add a search box so you can go beyond your nearest fifty.

Here's the link:

Definitely seeing other reviews (or really, summary descriptions) is key - the idea occurred to me when I was traveling out of my own area and I wanted a quick and easy way to see in simple terms what the choice of parkruns was. It's nice to record our own descriptions, but better if we can see one definitive summary.

That's great - I can see that East Grinstead is the closest one to me that I haven't done.
