DRIVEN MAD Britain’s ‘most expensive’ parking space revealed – where it costs less to be fined across the street
BRITAIN’S priciest parking space has been revealed with fuming drivers charged £83.40 a day.
The wallet-burning driveway in front of a terraced house in leafy Knightsbridge, West London, earns more than a newly qualified nurse.
And it even costs more than the £65 parking fine you would get if you illegally parked across the street.
But drivers are clambering to get their motor in the space - which is just a stone’s throw from the iconic Hyde Park.
Four hours will cost £36.20 on parking app JusPark - whilst an hourly rate would set you back a whopping £13.90.
So far, more than 187 people have used it in just a few months.
Some are even coming back for more - Jenny K said: “Have used this space a couple of times now - easy to find, fitted my discovery easily and great location for museums.”
Another, named AD, hailed that it was “big enough for my 2021 Hyundai Tucson”.
But one fumed: “The parking space was excellent but very overpriced.”
Despite missing a roof, the space boasts CCTV, electric charging, is suitable for wide vehicles and has multiple exits.
It comes as a map revealed the most expensive places to get a residents' parking permit.
Parking permits enable locals to park outside their homes overnight and at weekends without being slapped with a parking ticket.
The affluent north London borough of Islington came out top, setting permit holders back £860 per year – to park on the street outside your own home.
Meanwhile, another map exposed Britain's most expensive council-run car parks.
Analysis carried out by MailOnline showed that the most expensive parking in the country was found at Manchester City Council’s King Street West facility.
Elsewhere, experts warned more than 150 car models are now too big for UK car park spaces.
Analysis conducted by Which? found 161 cars are longer than a standard UK parking bay, which is 16ft by 8ft.
Increasing from 129 in 2018, the study also found 12 exceeded the limit by more than 30cm.
