Afternoon all,
Need to leave the car for 2 days in either of the above locations, ideally near to the train station.
The locations are chosen as I’m travelling into London on the day of a train and tube strike, they are all accessible from where I live and have Elizabeth Line or Overground connections to central London.

Somewhere on Slough Trading Estate, probably, if you're looking for unpaid parking. Then you can hop on a train at Burnham.

It's a long walk from Slough Trading Estate to the station. Most parking near a station will be controlled (including our own road). Iver is also on the Elizabeth Line (after Slough and Langley) and the Ridgeway Trading estate nearby offers on-street parking. Couple of hundred metres walk along Thorney Lane South. Deserted at night. Richings Park will be permit holders only looking at Google Maps (used to cycle through it to work daily).

You're on STA? Does it still reek of Mars Bars?

I'm the posh part of Slough, south of the M4. Langley is my local EL station which I ride to. And the anosmia means I can't tell you about the smell 😀

Yeovil Road, Slough is close to Burnham, but spaces might be limited

Download the JustPark app and see what’s available in the locality?

Have recently travelled into London on strike days from Stanmore and west Drayton.

They could be another possibility?

For Stanmore I used someone’s driveway just across form the station via the just park app, (safe) and for west Drayton a local NCP car park which was £10 a day. (Not so safe…)

That's Windsor and Eton! There is no posh part of Slough!

Second vote for the JustPark app. Used this a couple of times in Birmingham and London. Let's you check out the space and see if there is any security that might make parking better.

I used to live just off Church Road just north of Watford Junction. It was a while ago but seemed a nice enough area. I don't know if there's any permit only restrictions but I'd imagine you could down one of the side streets off Church Road.

Edit: Apologies, it looks pretty locked down in terms of parking. There might be the odd space further up the road but they look full on Street view.
