Monthly parking near City of London.

The Square Mile has few residents and fewer driveways. Every street is controlled, single yellows are the optimistic option, and the public car parks price accordingly. Off-street space here means a bay under an office block or a garage let by someone who no longer commutes.

The typical need here is the working week: staff at firms around Bank, Liverpool Street and St Paul's who want a fixed spot rather than a daily gamble. The Barbican brings evening concert traffic, and weekend drivers find the City strangely quiet, which is exactly when a monthly bay earns its keep.
