London from Folkestone. Park and Ride in London?

Question

Hey folks,

I'm going to London from Europe through the EuroTunnel. So in the UK I'll set off from Folkstone to London.

I've been several times to Central London by car but it just doesn't worth it as it takes ages to get there.

Question: can you recommend any P+R spot to where the park the car and switch to bus / train / underground?

Here is a link for the route:
