  We have over 100,000 businesses listed on ParkatmyHouse.com ranging from cricket stadiums to B&B’s to petrol stations. We want to grow this database by including all businesses within the UK. If you own or know of a business which does not have a listing then please add it to our database.
• Upload a photo with your parking space listing
  Sometimes it is nice to see where you’ll be parking your car before you get there. Starting from 31st January you can now add a photo to your parking space listing. You can see an example of this by viewing this available parking space near Carshalton Station.

It’s now two days after we launched our new version of the site. It’s just after 6pm and like yesterday, today has been nuts. Great but nuts. The phone has been ringing every 5 minutes and it’s a journalist from one of the regional newspapers we contacted or a local radio station that picked up the release and wanted to do either a live or a recorded interview.

At the same time as juggling the calls, Ant and I have been responding to e-mails from journalists left, right and centre. I was quite relieved when it got to 5:30pm and I knew it was the end of the working day.

Prolonged adrenalin rush is one way of describing the past couple of days.

Finally, the revamped site has gone live and the first batch of press releases has gone out the door!

For the past three months, Ant and I have propped up the coffee industry, had more dreams about meters and wardens than we’d care to let on and been living in a twilight zone somewhere between cyberspace and Spaghetti Junction. Ant is talking in programming riddles and I have press releases coming out of my ears.

I am utterly exhausted, as is Ant. In a funny way, I don’t actually feel tired – I think I’ve gone past the sleep stage and am in some kind of automatic mode. But it’s quite clear from the way I look that I’m not what you’d call fresh as a daisy right now. No doubt it will all hit over the next few days and until then, I think I’ll just stay indoors and hide.

Ant and I love the new site – we think it’s warm and friendly and easy-to-use. Parking is such a grey, boring and functional thing. We want to brighten it up and make parking less of a drudge. An unusual cause to dedicate ourselves to, not one that most people would choose but a cause nonetheless.

This page will be updated when new features of the website become available.

If you a returning visitor, you will hopefully be aware that we have changed a few things. Not only has the look and feel of the site changed, but the way users interact with each other has been made even easier. No longer do you have to send a message to a user and get frustrated by their late replies.

Here is a detailed list of all the new facilities now available to registered users of the web site.

• Search Bar
  Simply enter a post code, a city or some keywords and you will be presented with categorised search results which match your search query. A good example of what you could type is ‘london football stadiums’.
• Book a Parking Space
  How frustrating must it be if you want to book a parking space but the user you contact never gets back to you? We have solved this problem by allowing you to book your parking space online. The owner of the space will receive a text message alerting them of your request as soon as it is submitted.
• Choose Accurate dates and times of availability
  When you list a space as available, you can now accurately display when the space is available. Be it from 3pm till 6pm on Wednesdays or every day 9am till 5pm, the person booking a space will have all the information they will require about the availability of your parking space.
