Is there such a thing as free parking? I thought it was a myth, fuelled by Monopoly. ;)
I live SW London, in Surbiton, I'd let you park in our car park, right near the train station - 20 mins if that from waterloo. Though means a bit of a way to drive

There is indeed my friend. I parked in Debden, right next to the tube station for free. I would park there again, but it's on the east side. You can text "parking" and the tube station to 80039, and they reply with where you can park for free. Genius.

Yeah, I'm aware central London will not have free parking. I'd have to pay the congestion charge as well then. I text that number to see if Chiswick had any free parking, but I got a reply saying it was in the c charge/DLR area. I thought Chiswick was outside of the c charge...?

Chiswick is very much outside of the congestion charge zone. What's that text number? Do they have a website?

Yeah thought so. It wasn't the operator's fault. It was mine. I wasn't texting correctly lol. The number is 80039. Text "PARKING" and the tube station and BAM. You get a text back saying where there is free parking nearest to the tube station you entered. It's great! Does cost £1.50 though. They do indeed:
