Leeds tnite

Post by cutsy123 » Wed Feb 08, 2017 8:16 am

Cheapest closest and easiest place to park for the o2 arena?

Usually park under a restaurant called bibbis but its a bit or a trek given the weather

Have you looked at Woodhouse Lane car park? About a 10 minute walk.

I guess you mean the First Direct Arena. If so then the Woodhouse Lane multi-storey car park is your best bet as Factual Frank says. Costs about 6 quid I think.

When we worked on the arena we had to park in Chinatown for £4 all day parking. About 5/10 minute walk.

Maybe the University has parking available at night?

The University does have public parking available at night from 5.30 pm onwards, controlled by ANPR cameras. It's £1 per hour, payable on exit by card at an automatic machine, situated within the University's multi-storey car park. Might work out cheaper than Woodhouse Lane but is a bit further away from the Arena.

Leeds College of Building, North Street LS2 7QT.

It's meant to be permit holders only but there's nobody checking on an evening.

Actually, all the street parking between North street, trafalger street, Byron street and regent street free after 6.00 but will probably be busy if there's something on at the arena.

If you're talking about the O2, then that's not the Arena.

Woodhouse Lane is still a decent car park for it, but on street parking on Great George Street, or the Rose Bowl uni car parks are really close to the O2.

If it is the First Direct Arena, and I see Drake's playing there tonight, then all those car parks are still good, and there's also the Merrion Centre car park.

On street parking charges in Leeds city centre have been extended to 10 pm in most areas so check signs if parking on the street.

Most on-street parking is £2 from 6pm.

As others have said though I would have thought Woodhouse Lane, Merrion Centre or Rose Bowl would be your best bets if there's no on-street available.

Merrion Centre is best with extra stewarding but a drag to get away from if you are on an upper floor, and opposite the Arena

If you look at his videos you'll see that Drake is one of the few black guys who has no rhythm & can't dance.

Reminds me of one of the Motown singers of old saying about the late great singer Marvin Gaye that Marvin danced like a White boy! :)

Aye it's Drake tonight. Drove past at five and the queues were already forming. I'm off there next week for the Prem League Darts. I park at work though :)
