Everyone else.
We will be travelling to London for our daughter's wedding in the middle of September. We are currently arranging lodging and parking. Juke, our trusty car, will be our mode of transportation, as we will be bringing all of the necessary wedding attire as well as enough food and clothing for a weeklong celebration.
I am trying to reserve a room at an AirBnB just off Old Street, but I can't seem to find a place to park my car for the week. I've looked at a number of online parking websites, but they all have mixed reviews, with many people giving them only one star.
Now that the local NCP is permanently closed and there are no QParks in the area, I'm not sure what to do; the last thing I want is to book the lodging only to be disappointed when we get there because there is no parking.
We are unable to park at her house because it is too far from our accommodations and the wedding site; her home is in Norbury, which is south of Streatham.
Security and convenience are more important than cost when it comes to finding a parking spot in the neighbourhood. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Long-term parking is going to be a living nightmare in London, where the government actively seeks to extort money from drivers. Typically, you'll only need a resident permit or meter for a short period of time.
Your best bet might be to find a hotel or Airbnb a little ways from the action, find a parking spot, and then take a cab the few miles to the venues.
For further information, you can visit a website called Parkopedia. Fifteen years ago, when I worked nearby, it was next to impossible!

Using Just Park, I was able to locate a plethora of options in London.
I know it's in the southwest, near Richmond, rather than in the middle of London, but there do seem to be choices.
