I don't usually park that area, but I go to meetings near Harley Street and I usually park in an NCP on Weymouth Mews, or if I have time to walk then Euston Station car park works out quite cheap (and the station one is outside the CC zone too!). The walk from Euston to GOSH isn't too bad, so something to consider. Otherwise, look on NCP website:
The Brunswick Square one (by the School of Pharmacy) looks like a good bet and not far from GOSH.

GOSH pay the CC for you so thats kind of handy
found a load on the ncp site is very handy top tip that thanks
was looking at the euston NCP
didnt know there are tons around so should not really have a problem
seeing as i have never drove there before and alwyas used sh1ty public transport
is parking a nightmare eg no spaces or should i be ok seeing as there are so many around within walking from GOSH

London parking. £60 a day in some of the NCP places. The rest are meters which are stupidly expensive 
We were unloading some gear at my Dad's clinic on the weekend on Upper Wimpole St. Bearing in mind this is a Sunday and we had a Luton with a hospital bed in it. We parked it outside his clinic and within 2 seconds there were 2 parking wardens there writing out tickets at the same time. WTF. Drove the van off before they got a chance to finish, to which they were pissed off at, but they couldn't speak fucking English even if they tried so fuck them.

Yep parking costs in London is outrageous and its usually hard to find anywhere to park. Also as Ed said above traffic wardens are everywhere and will do you for everything possible. And its a £100 fine usually.

LOL @ the traffic wardens.
I parked in Euston station today - was £20 for all day (upto 12 hours I think, I was there for 8 hours). Managed to avoid entering CC zone as well so saved myself some £
