Parking
Parking at King’s College Hospital is limited. We recommend using public transport to get here where possible.
There are car parking bays for dropping off and collecting patients. These are on Bessemer Road, near the entrances on Hambleden Wing. You can leave cars unattended for a short time – between ten minutes to two hours depending on the zone – while you chaperone your relative or friend to their appointment.
Visitors can also use the drop off and collection zones, but spaces are limited.
In the hospital, our staff volunteer teams can support you from the help desk and guide you to where you need to be.
Blue Badge holders
People with valid Blue Badge permits can park for free. There are around 20 marked Blue Badge parking spaces across the site. There is no charge for parking in these spaces. The maximum stay is 4 hours.
Blue Badge holders can also park in any marked public bay for free.
Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) charge
The hospital is in the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). If your vehicle does not meet ULEZ emissions standards, you will need to pay a daily charge to drive in the ULEZ.
Find out more about the ULEZ on the TfL website.
Reimbursement of ULEZ charge
As an NHS patient, you may be able to claim a reimbursement for the ULEZ charge.
You will need to be clinically assessed as unable to travel to the hospital on public transport.
If you are eligible for reimbursement you can submit a claim form:
- at the Golden Jubilee Wing front desk (Patient Travel Reimbursement desk)
- or by post (see address on form).
To make a claim you will need:
- your receipt or customer account number
- your vehicle registration number
- date of travel.
Cycling
There are cycle racks and storage points across the site that patients and visitors can use.
E-bike parking is available behind the Willowfield Building. You can collect or drop off e-bikes from the main providers, including Lime, Tier, and Human Forest.
Please secure bikes with a high-quality lock.
Motorbikes and mopeds
Motorbike and moped parking is limited. There are about 30 ground anchors on Bessemer Road for patients, visitors, and staff. There is no charge for using them.
Patient transport
We offer free transport for patients with a medical need and who have no other way of travelling to the hospital for their appointment.
