I am going to the opera in London on 31/1. There are no trains. I've decided to drive down to the outskirts and jump on a tube.
My question is... Do any of you know the best place to pick up a tube line that has parking on a Saturday?

Thanks in advance

East Finchley is a good car park if you don't mind a small drive through North London.

Perfect if you're after a shorter tube journey

Drive to Potters Bar and get the train from there, that's what we did last time. Parking is cheap and plentiful, and the trains empty

Edit: just seen there's no trains at all out of kings Cross, so don't do that.

High Barnet, Cockfosters and Stanmore all have decent sized car parks

If you can't get into Stanmore then canons park and Queensbury both have car parks just further down. We had to do canons park once.

Dont bother with any end of line stations after 10-1030 on a Saturday, like Andy says, Cannons Park or Queensbury are a good bet on the Jubilee line, East Finchley like someone else has said is a good call.
if not look up Park on my drive especially for Stanmore, plenty of people do it, actually at Stanmore there is usually a guy offering space on his drive for a price obviously
