It's also slightly closer to the shops which has to be a good thing ;-) This has 64 parking spaces (4 disabled) and it's open 7 days a week. It's open air, at street level only.

However, having…read moresaid that, it's very handy for the shops, especially M&Co (which is right next to it), Hasties across the road, or the other businesses in Main Street. It's all on one level outside; there are no disability concessions for cars with blue badges, which is very irritating. It's a privately owned pay-and-display car park and prices range from 80p for one hour to £4 for over 4 hours. Easy to find as it's beside the mini-roundabout in the centre of town, and just to the left of M&Co. A narrow entrance opens out into the car park.

I made a pretty substantial discovery the other day. Interested? Well, then let me continue. I…read morediscovered that the Cambridge Street Car Park (which is the one just about opposite Cowcaddens Subway Station) does a special offer on parking from 6pm to 6am. No matter how long you stay in the carpark between the two times - there's a simple flat fee of £1.50. Bargain? Bargain! That means that if you're off into town for the Cinema or the like, it's actually a LOT cheaper to drive in than it is to get the Subway or the bus. Especially if there's more than one of you. Plus, Cambridge Street carpark is brightly lit and secure - if you want to get into the building as a pedestrian you have to swipe a valid carparking ticket. It's also never busy, which means you'll always be able to get a space on the ground floor within about ten paces from the pay station. Ah, my nightly cinema trips will never be the same......

Actually, I often park here even if I need to walk the length of the town because everywhere is within reach in 'Killie' if you're on foot. If my husband is with me, we park for free with the disabled blue badge (there are some dedicated spaces); otherwise it's 60p for one hour, £1.10 for 2, or up to 4 hours £2.20 which is very inexpensive for this day and age! It's all on one level, so not huge, but I've never had trouble finding a space here. There's another car park nearby in any case. Either can be found by joining the one-way system. Travel up John Finnie St past the station and then continue round to the right. The car parks will be seen on the right soon afterwards.

You may wonder why I am writing a review about a West End car park - I mean surely the West End has…read moretons of more interesting and funky happening places going on, eh? Well, yes it does. Indeed, it does. However, sometimes in order to get to these funky happening places you need to park your car. Being a mainly public transport or walking type of girl, this is something which ordinarily doesn't occur to me. Yet, on entering a course last week I was shocked that when someone asked me about the nearest car park I really had to think about it. Furthermore, I could not for the life of me explain where it was (I am truly terrible at giving directions). And so, I decided this was a necessary review. This car park is fairly big (in West End standards) and is located just behind the Marks and Spencers off of Byres Road and Ashton Lane. From this, you'll realise how handy it is for the buzz of Byres Road and 'The Lane'. It's a Glagsow City Council Car Park so prices are average (I think) andit's very cheap for an all day ticket on Sundays. Perfect, for a spot of West End Sunday shopping and eating. Meanwhile, it tends to be quieter than the other car park which is more easily noticeable from Byres Road so there's always a good chance that you'll find a space or that one will quickly become available.

So try there first!
