You should park south side of Goldhawk Rd & walk. My best tip would be Richford St, Sycamore Gardens (closest as you can walk up St Stephens Ave through to Uxbridge Rd from where it's a left then right onto Blomfontein Rd & follow the crowds). Both are free parking after 5pm. If you park north of Goldhawk Rd it's £2.80 per hour until 10pm. Both of these are no more than 10 minute away. You may be OK on some of the roads which are north of Goldhawk but I couldn't swear to it & I am in Dorset at the moment so can't check! I will however be doing the same as you so that's where I will be parking to be sure I don't get a ticket which you WILL upto 10pm ( Grrrr) as there are no shortage of parking gestapo.

Isn't there a slightly hidden but pay car park round the back of (now closed) garage opposite the television centre ? My mate was parking there 6 months ago.

Have a look at the following URL - parking map for the area. The last QPR match, I drove into W12 from work in Swindon via the M4 and parked south of Uxbridge Road off Boscombe Road when meter restrictions had finished. This is still north of Goldhawk Road. The trick is keeping well west of Westfield and Shepherds Bush Green and the one way system. Most residents make a point of dashing back from work to get parked before the restrictions are eased if there is a home match on. North of Uxbridge Road is restricted on match days.

You're right but that's all very fluid with redevelopments going on etc.

Bightmare around there. Train it

Go onto the 'Park on my Drive' website and type in 'Shepherd's Bush'. Location F is a parking space on a private drive right next to the ground. The owner is looking for a monthly deal but will consider a day rent until she can find a longer term 'tenant'. Your car should be safe there with all the Old Bill about

Isn't the BBC television centre now a massive building site.
Apparently it's never been safer for kids to play there.

As someone whose life is being shortened by London's illegal levels of pollution, I'd ask you kindly to get the train. Cheers.

As a place I used to work parking is a nightmare after 5.30 when the residents return for the day so much easier on the train.
