Monthly parking near Westminster.

Every street in Westminster is inside a controlled parking zone, and the kerb is spoken for: resident permits, diplomatic bays, pay-by-phone spaces that cost serious money by the hour. Off-street space here means mews garages and the odd basement bay, most of them privately held and rarely advertised.

Whitehall's departments, the Abbey and Parliament all keep people who need somewhere to leave a car, as does anyone with a morning at Portcullis House. Westminster and St James's Park stations handle the trains; a reserved private space nearby handles everything the trains do not.
