Parking for Puzzle Fans
I suppose there's some sense in naming the car park after a major street nearby, but the entrance for cars is on Butts Court and the pedestrian entrance is hidden between the shops on Bond Street, so it took me a while to figure out how to get in!
Even once you have found the door between the Tesco and the Bloom Juice, you cannot simply walk in -- you first need to scan your ticket or payment card. Since I was just interested in checking out the facilities, I did not have anything to scan, but luckily there was a help button. I figured that if I could speak to someone, I could explain, but after being asked to press the button again if I needed assistance, I was simply buzzed in! While this was just the outcome I wanted, it does make me a little concerned that you might not get assistance if you actually needed someone to talk to.
Once I was inside the left, an ostensibly helpful decal let me know that EV charging points were "located on the Entry Level", but it failed to mention what number level that was. Not to ruin the fun for those puzzling along at home, but the answer is Level 2.
There are four blink Type 2 22kW charging points without an integrated cable.
The pricing for parking is a little bit of a brainteaser as well: the hourly rate for your entire stay is determined by when you enter the carpark, so showing up at 8am will cost you much more than if you are there five minutes earlier!
