Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park

Oh CCMB font of knowledge

Looking at going to the copperbox arena in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in 2 weeks time to watch the netball grand final

now it'll be myself, my 2 daughters and 1 daughters friend

I could drive down the M4 - M25 and in that way, i guess i will hit the lez and congestion charge zones, though the later was always just for weekdays

whats car parking like ? ? ? surely for the Olympics it must have ample car park space ? ? ? or do you park outside and train in ? ? ?

cheers in advance for any helpful advice

As my user name suggests, I live about 10 minutes from Queen Elizabeth Park, so know the area like the back of my hand! My advice would be to drive around the M25, then take the M11, then the A12 to Stratford, that should take you 50 minutes from the M4. There is ample parking space at Westfield Stratford, which is a pleasant ten minute walk to the Copper Box, through the Park. You can register online for Westfield Parking, which knocks £1.50 off your days parking and saves you getting a paper ticket, as it just reads your registration plate. Any other questions, just let me know.

I know the area too and would agree with that 100%. The only reason i didn't mention the westfield parking was because the second poster said the shopping centre parking was limited, so I thought he knew something I didn't.

I suggested parking at Westfield in the third post of this thread! I even linked to the website to book but I guess most people have a short attention span or don’t read carefully

Or sometimes don't read at all, just scan for trigger words and move on.

Westfield is not covered by any of the Zones and you will be driving around London on the M25, so missing out central London, there are loads of places to eat, drink and shop at Wesfield. Believe me, dont even think about getting the Tube as its completely uneccessary. I would only suggest that option, when West Ham are playing.

thanks all

I must admit i hate driving in london, but being sat on the tube for 50 mins also doesnt appeal a tough customer me
