Hi, I’m Haq Nawaz Waraich, and I am on a mission to help you find free and affordable parking in towns and cities across the UK. Whether you’re commuting, visiting, or just exploring, I know how frustrating it can be to find a convenient parking spot without paying high fees. That’s why I created Free Parking Scouts—a platform dedicated to making parking easier, cheaper, and stress-free for everyone.
I absolutely love travelling (and saving money!), which is a pretty ironic combination! This passion has led me to constantly look for ways to cut unnecessary costs, and one of the biggest travel expenses—often overlooked—is parking. Over the years, I’ve spent countless hours researching and testing free and budget-friendly parking spots across the UK. Whether it’s a hidden street parking gem, a lesser-known car park with free hours, or a park-and-ride option, I’ve made it my goal to help others park smarter.
The Story Behind Free Parking Scouts
For as long as I can remember, I have been passionate about saving money whenever possible. One of the biggest expenses that often gets overlooked is parking fees—especially in major cities and near popular destinations. I have always refused to pay hefty charges just for the convenience of parking close to where I’m going.
Every time I visit a new place, I make a habit of finding and noting down free parking spots, whether they are lesser-known street parking areas, specific free time slots in car parks, or smart alternatives like park-and-ride locations. Over the years, my personal collection of free parking spots grew to an extensive list covering hundreds of towns and cities across the UK.
That’s when I realized that I wasn’t the only one struggling with expensive parking—thousands of people face the same issue daily. This inspired me to launch Free Parking Scouts, where I could share my knowledge, research, and personal experiences to help others save money and find stress-free parking options.
Thanks to the wonderful readers and supporters of Free Parking Scouts, I have had the incredible opportunity to personally visit and document parking options in over 100 towns and cities across the UK. Each location listed on this website is based on real-life experience, thorough research, and community contributions—ensuring that you get the most reliable and up-to-date parking information.
