Monthly parking near Brent Cross.

Brent Cross exists because of roads: the M1 ends here, the North Circular passes through, and the shopping centre grew up between them. Barnet permits cover streets near the stations, and the Brent Cross Town development is adding streets, offices and residents where there was mostly tarmac.

The Northern line stops at Brent Cross station, and Brent Cross West now carries Thameslink trains towards St Pancras, which gives drivers coming off the M1 a reason to park once and switch to the train. Add shopping centre staff on monthly rotas and the case makes itself.
