Parking anywhere near to King's College Hospital is more or less impossible. It used to be ok around 5/6 years ago but the parking zones brought in by Lambeth and then Southwark are the reason it is now impossible.


The 42, 468, 176 bus stops are just outside and Denmark Hill train station is a 5 minute walk away.

Depending on where you are coming from / going to you might be as quick to walk. As has been said parking zones make it difficult, though if you lived in one of the roads nearby 5-6 years ago you might think parking now is better than it was then.


By the time you wait for a bus there?s only a few minutes in the time difference for walking or taking the bus from East Dulwich station. Walk up Greendale, listen to birds and no stress from driving / parking. My husband has walked to his last two hospital appointments (he was working from home at the time and was out of contact for the same or even less time)

Just to say there is a private carpark just where the garden centre used to be years ago which I had forgotten about. The ex garden centre car park is now some kind of private car park. I was on a bus the other day going down to Camberwell and saw a bit of a scuffle with people arguing and getting out of their cars in the middle of the Denmark Hill junction!

Just to add - if you don't mind a little walk last time I went to Kings the streets just after Ruskin Park opposite fox on the hill are only restricted for a couple of hours to stop commuters parking there.


Sorry, don't know exactly what the timings are, but it might work, depending on your appointment time.

    • A pretty awful incident.  Thankfully from my time in London fairly rare.  There was a time, particularly in North London in the 00s when moped gangs would come up behind cyclists and grab their bags.  There were also scare stories about riders being pushed off at the top of the hill and the bike grabbed, or cyclists being pushed into a canal such as the Grand Union.  I think these were very exaggerated. In recent times, cyclists, in particularly women, have been mugged, on cycle routes when other riders are not around, such as Deptford/Millwall  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm27x5klxxlo But I expect that crimes involving threats/violence by criminals against cyclists are less likely than in other areas of life.  Mobile phone theft being one of the obvious examples.  I was told many years ago following a burglary that criminals would rather not have any contact with their victims, and bike theft would sound to be less risky to them by stealing locked up bikes (far too common) rather than attacking the rider.  The spate of thefts from builders vans in broad daylight knocks this a little on the head, as the criminals are often confronted. @Rockets as a regular cyclist in the past did you experience threats etc?  My worse experiences were being knocked off by dangerous drivers, once being left for dead in a hit and run, and road rage where drivers chased me or threatened me after they had passed to close, turned across me etc.  You learn from this and do your best to avoid such conflict.  
    • Whilst I am not sure if this is appropriate to this case, I know that often people from minority groups don't feel safe with the police and there have been many incidents where people from minority groups have been mistreated, beaten etc, just for being.   
    • It certainly was😁 Bob S
