Don't do it unless you have to - driving in London is insane, slow and costly (congestion charges in central London and high parking fees)
If you need to park, there is a pay and display area behind the town hall (go right onto Three Colt Street after the church, and weave your way to the back of the hall), but there are no parking wardens on weekends.
