I need to get to bond street tomorrow afternoon, want to leave my car somewhere close and safe, coming from the m4. Dont mind parking at a station and getting a train it though as long as its not 15minutes + away.

Could park up at Hatton Cross which isn't all that pricey and change/get off at Green Park for Bond St...

Feltham is nearby... I wouldn't advise parking round there.

Not done it in the week or during the day, but on weekends the resident bays are free for all. Never had an issue with the car getting damaged. It's a decent area round there.

Would i be better off parking in slough, train from there to paddington, paddington to bond ?

Because back to slough takes about an hour, and then i can get onto the m25 quickly for home. I hate london !

It'd be quicker to park outside of London and to get a train in. The traffic in the area you're going to be will be total shite, and even if you do park up 15 mins away from your meeting, you're going to be sitting in standstill traffic for hours...

As Ed said. Park outside and travel in by Tube.

I always do this, mainly cause I get free Tube travel admittedly, but it's still the best idea, you never know what traffic will be like.

In that case anything from Epping to Stratford on the Central Line, will take you straight to Bond Street.

Leave my car at slough station all the time no problems, windsor is where my folks live...but means have to get a silly link to slough first. Reading is going the wrong way from where i live
