May be worth asking admin to move your post to Blue shirts or Canteen areas as probably more likely to get an answer there.

If it's a Sunday you will be able to park for free in most surrounding streets. If not you will need a residents permit for street parking so would need a local car park. Type parking into google maps.

Your best option is likely park at an outlying tube station and get off at Waterloo or Temple and cross the river. Traffic through London is a nightmare and you would be liable for the congestion charge too mon-fri.

You can't get a parking space in London for love or money, its rarer than a £3 note, you're better of setting off early and parking outside in a park & ride and its cheaper and more convenient to use the tube or train in to London once you factor in congestion charge, fuel and parking meter also you can use the time to prepare and read up notes on your way there, I would recommend setting off before 8ish after that, is rush hour and use the spare time to go to a Coffee shop to chill before going over.
