Uxbridge parking on strike days

[trebor79]

I'm in Cardiff on Thursday and need to be in London for 1030 Friday 16th. Because if the strikes I'm going to drive to Cardiff so that I can drive from there to London on Friday morning.
But I don't fancy driving and parking in central London. I was planning to park in one of the car parks near Uxbridge station and then take the Metropolitan into town.

Does anyone know how likely it is that the car parks will all be full by about 0930, bearing in mind it's a strike day?

Has anyone got a better idea?

I'm assuming Crossrail will not be running to Reading, which eliminates that option.

I have a recollection from some years ago that Hillingdon has a bigger station car park than Uxbridge, but better if somebody who has been there recently chips in.

Oh yes, I was going to park in the multi-storey a few minutes walk away from the station, as I can see on Google earth that the station car park is quite small.
Just wondering if the world and his dog is going to have the same idea as me on Friday!

There’s plenty of parking, you’ll be fine. I believe the parking in The Chimes shopping centre is the cheaper one.

I parked in Grainges car park once and it’s very narrow!
