Parking near Marble Arch for Wirelesss fetival?

Just wondered if anyone knows if there is anywhere to park for free or cheaply on a Sunday near Marble Arch (for the Wirelesss fetival)?

Its been a few years since I have driven into central London - should it be avided completely or because its a Sunday is it worth looking for a spot?

Cheers

Theres lots of free parking in the westend on Sundays, just make sure you read the restrictions first, don't use res bays!

The vast majority of roads with single yellow lines in London are derestricted on Sundays so just park on one of those. Parking really shouldn't be a problem for you.

Alternatively you could park in Battersea, hop on the train to Victoria and walk through Green Park.

Is a link with some NCP car parks. But have you thought about an overnight stay? Hotels have free parking
