I remember many years ago driving to a station that goes into London that has parking. Tickets will be £100 for two of us and I'd rather drive down and catch the tube in.
I can't remember the name if the station though.
Stanmore?

I have driven to Watford loads of times and got the train in from there. I am not sure if that is the tube but it went to Euston and only cost a couple of quid

Everytime, easy to get to, easy/relatively cheap to park and about an hour on the tube to central London
The normal return fare from Watford to London is £13.20 peak, £8.80 off peak. Fast trains take around 15 minutes. It can be expensive to park there though.
What day/ time are you going?

I always use Stanmore cos it's the side of London easiest to reach in London. If it's central London you're find it's brilliant.
Depending where you are aiming to arrive in London, one of these car parks maybe more worthy - http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/tubestationcarparks/default.aspx

I like the idea of a faster train though, is there much parking and which station is it? Is it just called Watford?
Parking at Watford Junction station is £8 a day.
Which day?
Have you tried Megatrain?
For example next Saturday they have tickets available around those times for £9 each way, each.

The station that BG is referring to is Watford Junction. Parking is £8 a day in the week and £5 a day at the weekend. It is an enormous car-park - holds 700 carss - but is very busy.
London Midland trains take just over 20 minutes from there to Euston.

Megatrain can do the journey for a total cost of £36 for the two of you, on the 11:57 from Leicester and the 22:00 from St Pancras. There are limited numbers at this price though.

You should never buy tickets from thetrainline. For normal (non megatrain) tickets use one of the train operators instead, they don't charge a booking fee.
Thetrainline should still have shown you some advance tickets (look for singles, not returns), but for the same trains it would have been £48 plus the booking fee with them.
