Back To The Office? Try The Park Active Initiative!

Our new Luton car park has become the latest to join the Park Active Initiative. As more people head back towards the office, it seemed like the ideal time to remind people of this brilliant scheme.

The Park Active Initiative is part of our commitment to making commuting as green as possible. After all, we’re called Green Parking for a reason! The Park Active Initiative is about encouraging people to park a bit further away than they normally would from their destination. The journey can then be finished using public transport, on foot or by bike! 

Not only does this help cut down on emissions from driving, but it also helps reduce congestion in cities and improve air quality. This makes them much nicer places to work and move around in! 

Other Green Parking Car Parks involved in the Park Active scheme are: 

Derby The Point Parking

Ipswich Parking

Parking in Nuneaton

Reading Parking

Stevenage Parking

Parking in Luton

How to take part in the Park Active Initiative? 

It’s as simple as parking a little further away. For example, if you normally drive all the way to the office, why not park at the local train station instead? Our Luton car park is just five minutes walk from Leagrave station, making it easy to get to a number of surrounding towns and cities. 

How does the Park Active Initiative help the environment?

One side-effect of lockdown was that there were fewer cars, lorries and motorbikes on the road. This was great for the environment as it saw a drastic reduction in car emissions which helped improve air quality. 

Cities across the entire globe saw pollution levels plummet as a result of fewer cars on the road. However, as businesses open up, it’s simply not sustainable to keep cars off the road. After all, people need to get to work! What we can do is make smart decisions about how we use our cars! Shortening our journeys, even a little bit, can help cut down on pollution. Plus, taking the rest of the journey by foot or public transport gives you a chance to unwind.

What’s on at the Apollo in October?

We’re still doing our incredible £15 offer for an evening of Hammersmith parking, perfect for enjoying at night at the world-famous Hammersmith Apollo. October has an exciting lineup, including Dave Chapelle’s rescheduled show! 

Our Hammersmith car park is just a few minutes walk from the Eventim Apollo, making it the perfect space to park before a great night out. 

What Can You See This October?

Tailenders, Oct 5th 2021 

A must-see for cricket lovers. This award-winning podcast is jumping out of your phone and right on stage. With a live crowd to help pick up the banter and ask questions, this is sure to be a unique event! 

Dave Chapelle Oct 12 – 21, 2021 – Rescheduled from August

Dave Chapelle is a comedy powerhouse known for his wry political takes and straight-talking nature. These shows were originally due to take place in August but needed to be rescheduled so they’re mostly sold out! They did, however, add one additional date so you might be able to get a last-minute ticket if you’re lucky! 

Jimmy Carr – Oct 25 – 28, 2021

Now that the nights are starting to get darker and colder, why not enjoy a second dose of comedy!? Jimmy Carr is famous for his one-liners when hosting shows like 8 out of 10 cats and The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, and he brings that same energy to the stage.

We’d just recommend trying to get a seat away from the front row, unless you don’t mind potentially being picked on as part of the act!

Cem Yilmaz, Oct 31st 2021

Cem Yilmaz is sure to put on a very special show for his 150th performance in London! Cem Yilmaz is Turkey’s most famous standup comedian and accidentally began his career in comedy. Maybe not the spookiest way to spend Halloween, but definitely the most fun! 

Hammersmith isn’t just known for its shows either. This vibrant part of London is filled with quirky, independent bars and restaurants. Take advantage of our £15 offer to enjoy dinner and a drink before the show. We even offer overnight parking if you fancy spending a night and enjoying more of Hammersmith.
