Car parking charges

July 2022

Car parking at the hospital is limited. Besides having to meet the needs of patients, visitors and staff, we also have to provide ready access for emergency vehicles.

Parking on the hospitals perimeter road is restricted to staff and disabled badge holders. Visitors may use the pay on exit car park situated off Blackshaw Road

St George’s operates a pay on exit car park. The charges for parking are displayed at the entrance:

  • £2.50 per hour
  • £25 fixed daily rate over 8 hours
  • Concessions are available so please ask the staff in the ward or department you are visiting
  • Parking free between 22:00 and 06:00

The car park is not run as a commercial operation. All money goes directly to support the work of the hospital. Charging for use of the car park is also necessary to reduce the growth in traffic onto the site, and the Trust fully supports the Government’s aim of reducing traffic pollution across the country. The car park is patrolled by parking attendants.

Disabled parking is available free of charge to drivers displaying a disabled driver’s permit in:

  • any of the reserved disabled spaces available near the entrances of each of the hospital wings.
  • any white-painted bay on the perimeter road around the hospital. These bays are designated for staff and disabled badge holders.

If parked in the barrier controlled car park the blue badge holder must take the ticket and blue badge for validation to the security desk in Grosvenor wing or AMW reception before they leave the hospital.

If you need assistance on arrival, e.g. a porter, please call our portering helpdesk on 020 8725 2134
