I think this is reputed to be one of the safest carparks you can ever park in. I certainly agree…read more They can happily boast about: no car theft no theft of contents from vehicles no vandalism or graffiti no vagrants, drug abuse or muggings, since opening 1998. Access to the carpark is as normal, through a barrier where you are issued a ticket. As you drive in and around, you notice yellow boxes attached to the floor, and a number on the wall of each bay. So park up and take note of the number of your bay. Before you leave the carpark, there are a few machines on the wall for you to secure your bay. Just type in your bay number, insert your ticket and the sensor under the car now detects that it is secure. Any movement of your car will now get flagged up in the control room. And on your return, as soon as you insert your ticket to pay for your stay, it releases your bay. Access to the whole carpark is very secure, as you can only get into the building with a ticket, and the gates where you drive in and out only open on arrival and close as soon as you're through. There are also panic buttons and cctv. The location is great aswell. Its not that close to the Westfield centre but its close to the Cathedral Quarter and I always use this place when on an alcohol-free night out! The cost might be slightly more than the average, but I don't mind paying that for the security it offers. For me, the type of person who goes back to check the front doors locked about 3 times, I do really like this carpark. It does feel very safe.

Stated as the safest carpark in the country, Park Safe is located slightly on the outskirts of town…read morenear the Magistrates Court and Queens leisure centre. As you enter the carpark, you take a ticket from the machine and gates open. You chose your parking spacce & there is an option to enter your bay into a machine which activates an alarm should your car be moved without deactivating the alarm. When you return to your car, you have to have a ticket to get into the building. You pay for your ticket at the machine and locate your car. As you reach the exit, you put the ticket into the machine and a gate will open for you to drive out. Prices to park are reasonable & about the going rate in Derby, with the additional advantage of peace of mind, knowing its nearly impossible for anyone to break in or steal your car whilst shopping! The only disadvantage I can think is that it is located the other side of town from the Westfields centre, which means you often have to walk a long way to reach Derby's main attractions.

Situated on the edge of East Midlands Airport, just along the road from the Donnington Motor…read moreMuseum, the East Midlands Aeropark is a great place for a visit. There is a free carpark, and entry to the site is just £2 for adults, u16s free. There are many static displays of both military and commercial aircraft, some of which you can often look around inside. There is also an indoor exhibit area, large picnic area, toilets and some catering. But the best bit as far as the kids are concerned is the viewing mound. Sited right next to one of the runways, you can regularly see planes taking off and coming in to land. The site is wheelchair/buggy accessible (although parts can get a bit boggy if it's been wet). It is only open on certain days, so it's worth checking the website before going.

A centrally located multi storey car park in the heart of Brum city centre, with the car park being…read moreclosely situated to the Mailbox and Town Hall. This is my car park of choice when visiting the city, simply because it is cheaper than its neighbouring car parks and there are always spaces available. The charges are reasonable too charging customers £3.40 for three hours and £3 after 6pm as long as you are out by 2am. On Sundays it's a mere £3 all day - bargain! Car park operates 24 hours too! Result!

There is always space at this car park, right in the centre and just far enough to be forgotten…read moreabout by people picking a car park to head too. Its big and ugly but it does the job ok, navigation is simple and its right on top of the mailbox so its nice when dining out. Parking can range from £3-£6 for a few hours or a days parking on sunday for £3.00. Bit of a walk from the Bullring but worth it if you want to dodge the rush.

This is a really cool shopping mall with all the stores you would expect and some wicked ones on…read morethe walkway that you wouldn't - I stumbled across a wooden stand which had some fabulous items! As you would expect, its all clean, well maintained but unless you are used to it, it was a bit confusing, signs weren't brilliant in large crowds. Theres plenty of parking and entrances taking you into the lovely market town of Banbury. Recommended for your weekend browsing!!!

TK Maxx is a clothing store that sells discounted designer clothes…read more This store is really big. There are rows and rows of clothes, all of them very unorganized and it really is hard to find anything. If you have enough time and patience, and look close enough you can find some bargains.

I used Derby Railway Station as a connection on a journey from Manchester Piccadilly to Leicester,…read moreit is a fairly small station with only seven platforms, but with Derby only being a very small city with a population of around 250,000, this is pretty understandable. The station is operated by East Midlands Trains, which did cause some confusion in the past with Yelp merging the two listings by mistake, for anyone reading this confused, British railway stations which aren't the busiest, major stations such as Manchester Piccadilly and most in London, are often operated by local railway operators who mainly use the station, in this case East Midlands trains operate this station, so the staff you'll see around often have jackets with that provider on, in a similar way Brighton Station is operated by Southern Railway. Other providers serving the station include Northern and Cross Country. Being on the Midland Main Line, East Midlands Trains offer serves to East Midlands Parkway (for the airport), Leicester, Chesterfield etc and Cross Country offer services on their Reading-Newcastle and Cardiff-Nottingham routes, which, as well as the named cities, also call at Birmingham and Sheffield. Sadly, there are no direct routes to Manchester with the best routes being an East Midlands service to Stoke On-Trent or Sheffield or a Cross Country service into Birmingham New Street and then onto there, the services into London are also pretty infrequent and although you can get an East Midlands service into St Pancras, arriving in just over 90 minutes it is again better to go into Birmingham. It is located rather close to Pride Park Football Stadium, home to Championship side Derby County, who potentially could be in the Premier League with a playoff win over Aston Villa at the end of the month, making it quite an easy ground to get too, so good luck to them on their promotion quest. The station seemed quite clean, and the staff in the station seemed nice, the bridge was quite modern considering at most other stations including nearby Sheffield they tend to be a little grubby and ugly. There isn't a lot of businesses inside the station, there is a Costa and WHSmith which are pretty much regulars to train stations in the UK, especially the latter. A clean train station, mainly offering local services, just over half an hour from Birmingham and Sheffield where you can get loads more trains to carry on your journey. 3*

Got to love that helter skelter style drive up and down to the car park !…read more Clean carpark, lots of spaces. Big lifts. £1.50 for up to 2 hours, £2.20 2-4 hours. You can pay £3 for 4 goes down a helter skelter at a traveling fairground... so perhaps the car park charge doesn't feel that bad. ;-) Paying money to park up to spend money to go back in to the local businesses and pay that lovely VAT on never feels quite right.. but though more free parking in Warrington centre would be nice... so would a lottery win and that isn't going to happen soon either ;-)

For us a new "find" since we just relocated (escaped?) from the USA and moved to our dream home…read morejust 5 miles away from this shopping area in Burton on Trent. We just happened to notice it yesterday as we went for lunch at the Winery nearby (did I say our favorite restaurant in the region?!?!) Today we stopped by to have a browse on a beautiful sunny day. The area is lovely, seems to be a reasonable amount of parking nearby. It is basically an extensive, light and airy shopping arcade. Many wonderful shops like Marks and Spencer's (including their wonderful Food Hall), various clothes stores such as Primark but many upmarket ones too, WHSmiths, Boots, and so much more - eating places galore for pastries, coffee and snacks. Good experience, loved it - we WILL be back very soon (next week we are planning). Rain or shine (since it is all covered) this is a real shopping gem!

West orchards car park is a large car park in the city centre!…read moreIts accessible from one of two different ways. However since the new ikea has been built traffic flow problems are more than apparent. Usually cuasing long queues to get in. Once in you have 5 levels to choose from. Once parked you leave the carpark and come out inside west orchards itself. Each exit door having a pay machine for when you return. This is very convenient! Exiting the car park could be made easier as there are two lanes which immediately merge into one after the barrier raises. There is no real right of way. SO a bit of give and take is required here. If you parked on the highest level you can havea bit of fun on the way down the spiral decent. If your anything like my uncle passengers are usually stuck to the far side of the car due to the force at which you go round. Quite funny really.LOL Good car park with reasonable charges too. But if your too long like in any car park it can sting your wallet!

A safe carpark, and average prices. It's pay on exit which is handy as you dont have a time limit…read more Plenty of spaces on lots on under-cover floors. All the doors lead straight to the main shopping centre in Coventry. The spiral entrance is also fun for everyone in the car, and used to be the highlight of my visit to town when I was little!
