I'm hoping to go to the Royal Albert Hall, but it looks like return trains are an issue. Is there a tube station outside of the ULEZ that I could park at and catch the tube in? I've done this sort of thing when it was just the congestion charge, but ULEZ has me stumped. I'll be coming from the Midlands.
I can see a few pages discussing suitable tube stations but it looks like they're out of date and they are now inside the extended ULEZ zone.
(For info, given the show time end and the mobility of my relatives I'm not convinced we could get back to Euston in time for the last train home)

sorted byFor the sake of £12.50 divided by 4 (for example) I would just pay it & drive nearer to somewhere convenient that works logistically.
You would have to change train twice and take a long journey on the Metropolitan line, it's just not worth it. The cost savings would be minimal too as have to pay higher fare for the tube for 4 people.
You are able to pay for parking at Imperial College nearby through the Royal Albert Hall, it's £11. Probably better off doing this vs taking the tube at all given it's 4 of you.
Very frustrating thing about the trains in this country, outside of London most stop running at 10pm-11pm, forces an overnight stay, coaches, or driving. Wish some services ran a bit later. (edited)
And I agree with the service out of London. I think if we were a bit fitter (or missed the end) we could just manage the last train home. But it's a lot of grief at the end of the day.
Think about your health, the air quality on the Tube is terrible. The outside air quality is so much better now with modern cars and the changes to car technology since the 70's and 80's.
We will let the Mayor take the credit for Air quality improvements, but in reality it's down to more modern cars.. Just look at other built up areas and tunnel statistics...
People are being fooled, it's quite entertaining.
