YourParkingSpace was born from a ‘what if’ thought on a walk to the station in South West London. With driveways sitting empty and a congested city desperate for affordable parking, what if we could bring unused parking spaces to consumers and reduce the friction on road travel?
In 2014, Harrison Woods joined forces with Charles Cridland as co-founders of YourParkingSpace with the vision to build a marketplace where drivers can search and book parking in advance or on-demand. The platform started with privately-owned parking spaces such as driveways and garages, and by 2016 expanded to include commercial inventory with parking providers such as national hotel and supermarket chains, car park operators, landowners, local businesses, charities and schools across the country.
What began as a marketplace for parking has evolved into a business that is digitally transforming the UK’s parking infrastructure.
With our mission in mind, YourParkingSpace has become the UK’s most trusted car park operator. We’re building the car parks of the future, today.
