Parking on Bow Road, E3

I unfortunately scratched my car, which cost me £320 to repair. When I arrived, there was plenty of space, but when I returned to collect my car, another vehicle had parked opposite me, and the car to my left was not parked straight, making it extremely difficult to exit. The space was very tight, and after struggling for ten minutes, I ended up badly scratching my car on the iron gate. While I did eventually manage to get out and take full responsibility for the scratch, I wouldn’t recommend this space for medium to larger vehicles.

advertised as 56 bow road, but door says 54 which was slightly confusing. parking is incredibly tight i would not recommend anyone with a bigger car to park here (was difficult with a yaris) difficult to turn around/ leave the car park because of the small space, reversing out of the car park is also difficult because of the busy road with cars, pedestrians and cycle lane.

space was really tight with no manoeuvre room.

Highly recommend.

The car parking space was very narrow. Once I parked my vehicle which was sandwiched between two other cars I barely had space to squeeze out of my car.

First time user, and it was great. Cheaper that street parking in the area for the weekend, and the option to easily extend was very handy. Quite liked the insurance top up option too, and the picture of the location was VERY handy to help find it!

Gate locked on arrival. Do not use.

Unfortunately when I arrived the gates were padlocked. I had to call the space owner who kindly came and unlocked the gates (not ideal at 06:30). The space was tight and had another vehicle been parked in the bay to my right it would have been almost impossible for me to gain access to my vehicle. I was meant to be parking there again on Sunday 11th but have had to make alternative arrangements which has cost more money. The owner sent me a message saying she had hidden the key incase the padlock had been put on again by another resident. This wasn't suitable for me as due to a medical condition I am unable to bend down to retrieve said key. The owner was very courteous though and responded to texts quickly. One other thing is that the space is advertised as number 56 but it has 54 on the door.

Cars parked so I couldn't park mine

very tight both bays either side where occupied and our wind mirror where practically touching my passengers had to get out before I parked my car and it was very tight for me to get out I had to rest my door on the neighbouring vehicle and squeeze out
