Parking's not bad where you'll be spending the night.

WD18 7BL is outside Watford's various "controlled parking zones" -- download the pdf map here to see where they are and when they operate:   http://www.watford.gov.uk/ccm/content/pa...

So you can park on the street without fear of fines or meter money. Your main problem may be finding a space if you arrive during the daytime: many people drive to Watford tube station, just up the road from where you'll be, and commute into the city for work. If you're arriving in the evening, things are much easier.

There is a car park at the tube station, but I wouldn't leave a car there overnight.

Hope you have an easy journey.

EDIT:

Just adding a note...

The postcode you've given is in west Watford, the other side of town from Watford Junction. So I'm assuming that the postcode is accurate -- anyway, the map above covers all the CPZs in town, so you'll be ok even if you're further east towards Watford Junction station and the motorway.
