Car
The hospital has an underground car park which is accessed via Nightingale Place—spaces are limited. The car park is not run as a commercial operation and all the money goes directly to support the work of the hospital and the care of its patients.
Please note height restriction of 1.9m.
On arrival at the entrance to the car park, take a ticket at the barrier. Before returning to the car park when leaving the hospital please pay by cash or card (not American Express or Diner’s Club) at the machines located on the ground floor of the hospital by main reception. Cash payments can also be made at the main reception desk.
The car park becomes very busy during the day and spaces are not guaranteed. Therefore, please allow additional time if you intend to drive. There are also Pay and Display spaces on the streets near the hospital.
