To park after you've dropped your dad off it is best to head up the hill towards Kinveachy or Heathwood Gardens or, if they are full, roads further towards Woolwich like Woodhill or Woodrow or Prospect Vale.
There is still a question mark about Thorntree Road (on the hill opposite the deer park) which is nearer The Valley. No signs up yet so it may remain free. If so, obviously, early arrival is advised.

Thanks, really appreciated.0

The back end of this article suggests there is a legal challenge to the scheme.

@castrust - is it possible to find out more?2 -
There are a few examples in the borough but none have been designated in recent years.Fortune 82nd Minute said:
Youre right actually. It is a specific offence.Crusty54 said:
Pavement parking is illegal in London.Pico said:
I couldn't see any yellow lines and there just a few 9am-6.30pm signs so most of those roads look good to park on at the moment.twiggyaddick said:Are there still yellow line restrictions along Westmoor and Estmoor and Penhall or have they gone again?
Westmoor St seemed to be pavement parking yesterday
BUT
Local authorities can make exemptions. Those areas where pavement parking are allowed have to be signed. If a sign is in place, you can park on the pavement.0 -
I used to live on Heathwood Gardens, you’ve got no chance getting parked there.castrust said:This might help:

It mentions "free parking" in Thornhill Road opposite the Deer Park (I take it they mean Maryon Wilson Park) - sorry, but I wouldn't even bother. I've been parking around that area for years and unless you get there before 1.30 you'll have no chance. Over the last few years I've been parking off Thornhill Rd (towards the ground) in Wolfe Crescent but I believe that's in the CPZ and even if it wasn't you'll lucky to get a space anyway.clive said:
I'm now resigned to the fact I'll be getting the bus (2 buses actually) - 1 to lewisham & then the lovely 380 to Belmarsh, which actually stops in Thornhill Road !0 -

Train to Lewisham, then Lewisham to Charlton.
Or bus to Chislehurst War Memorial and 161 from there.
Or park on The Charlton House side of The Village.1 -
Too much for me to attend now from where I now live, hours of driving and probably an hour of walking by the look of things. Think GBC have had another good go at killing us off. Shame on the SMT for not going after it earlier.

20 minute walk from south of Charlton Village (assuming one can walk ok).red10 said:Too much for me to attend now from where I now live, hours of driving and probably an hour of walking by the look of things.

What will you do @Covered End ?0

I reckon I'll be able to park in my normal place (with a bit of luck).AFKABartram said:What will you do @Covered End ?
But I'll be there by midday.0 -
Went for a drive around the area not too long ago in preparation for next Saturday and found Thorntree* Road (not Thornhill) is still marked out as free parking as is Woodland Terrace. Maryon Road and beyond at the bottom of Woodland Terrace is outside of the CPZ and probably a 10-15 mins walk from the ground.golfaddick said:

Interestingly Kinveachy Gardens and Heathwood Gardens didn't have any signage up and still had the free parking signs up despite appearing to be within the CPZ. I didn't check the other couple of roads just off Kinveachy as they could be okay too.
So looks like there's a few more options available but think the key is going to be how early people are able/willing to arrive.0 -
Park South of Charlton Park when not on the 161, always seems to find a spot.
Bit of a walk, but not to bad, even better if we have won!!1 -
Out of idle curiosity I used to park on Park Drive next to Charlton park. Looks as though they’ve put some electric charge points up there. Anyone know if that still a parking option or is it screwed?0

I still park there occasionally and usually get a space, though that's not on match days (or on the charging spots). I'd imagine if you got there early enough it'd be ok.Sillybilly said:Out of idle curiosity I used to park on Park Drive next to Charlton park.

Do we know how many spaces have been lost in total?3

Why not get a 54 or 89 from Lewisham and a short walk to complete the journey?golfaddick said:

Managed to get a visitor's day parking permit, at cost, from a local resident.
Will be interesting to see how busy the parking bays are tomorrow (museum) and Saturday.

It would be a bit of agro on my part, but I can also get these.Henry Irving said:Managed to get a visitor's day parking permit, at cost, from a local resident.

It would be a case of logging on to Greenwich parking portal prior to visit to announce your stay (4 hour max).
Think they are around £12 for 5 x visits.
If someone is really at the point of discomfort regarding parking a distance away, give me a shout and I will see what I/we can do.4 -

Am I right that Charlton Road from Charlton House to Blackheath Standard is covered by CPZ?0
-
No. It still seems to be free parking along that stretch, although very few actual spaces0

Am I missing something?Visited Charlton & the valley on a recce by car this afternoon, came in from the west via my back street route & Wellington Gardens.
Didn't see any parking signs different to the normal, ie ‘Monday - Saturday, 9am-6.30pm, max 2 hours.’ The occasional ‘Free parking’ signs
are still in place. Saw some in Charlton lane.
I don’t want to be giving out duff information, so as I commented above

There are now more of them.0 -
Hmm, I have a favourite parking spot of one small car length that's single yellow line and with my disabled badge i have been ok in the past. It is inside the CPZ!
Although there are no signs covering this little space (its between 2 garden driveways) I had thought from previous comments my badge didn't exempt me.
Not sure but it seems to me now this spot is probably ok with my 3 hour badge exemption. Course if its taken i'm %ucke*.
The earlier the better.

No trains from Derby to London today due to a train strike by East Midlands Railway, so could be a bit more busier than normal on the parking front with them bringing down a full house this afternoon.0

It would be good to organise a poll of how fans got on today. Are CAST doing anything?0
