ParkatmyHouse - Finding available parking near you just became so much easier

Parkatmyhouse is a UK-based website that helps connect drivers with parking ‘available’ parking spaces. The site is essentially a mashup which is a site that takes information (data) from once source and mixes it up with another source to make higher value information and this case allows you to find available parking at a competitive price.

ParkatmyHouse makes finding a parking space really easy to do by building on top of one of the most user-friendly mapping sites in the UK, Google Maps. This means finding local parking quickly and easily is just a few clicks away turning London into one big parking lot.

Businesses and home owners now have an extra avenue from which they can pay those growing tax bills and the British public get another place to park which is becoming an increasing problem.

ParkatmyHouse the company?

Parkatmyhouse was founded by Anthony Eskinazi at only 23 years-old at the time and still is their sole employee. Anthony came up with the idea as a solution to a problem he found while on his way to a Giants baseball game in San Francisco. But he probably tells it best (see below quote):

“The idea came to me in San Francisco recently”, said Anthony today. “I was attending a Giants’ game with a friend and found that there were massive queues to get into the stadium car park and a $10 charge. Yet I noticed lots of empty driveways in the neighbourhood. I didn’t have the owners’ permission to use any of these. In future, by using parkatmyhouse.com the owners will be able to make their space generate a useful income, instead of the money just going to traffic wardens. Those hoping to park will have an easy, affordable solution.”

According to Compete the site has grown its pageviews by over 150%.
