Free Parking anywhere near or on a bus route to Kings College Hospital?


Recommended Posts

A friend of mine is having to come from Brighton to Kings daily to see his brother who is terminally ill at Kings. Very sad situation and he is struggling to find somewhere to park for free if he drives so he can bring his elderly parents with him. Does anyone have any good tips they'd be prepared to share of places to park, either nearby or on a (short) bus route to the hospital?
Your friend could drop elderly parents at the hospital. Drive back himself and use Sainsbury's car park on Dog Kennel Hill. Sadly, for three hours only. He can catch a 40, 176, 185 or 484 down to the hospital and back to Sainsburys. Not ideal though.

Sainsburys car park should do the trick... 3 hrs presumably long enough for most hospital visits.


There are a handful of roads within a 10 min walk where you can park for free, but would hesitate to suggest them, because residents struggle to find spaces as it is.

    • A few weeks ago I parked in the parking space at the lordship lane end of Matham Grove.  It is free to park there for 30 mins but you have to register on the pay by phone app.  For which you pay a 20p admin fee - which is outrageous in itself. Anyway I put it on the app and was gone no longer than 10 minutes. When I came back I found a warden issuing a ticket.  I said that I had registered but when I opened the app there was just a wheel going round so there was a glitch with the app. The warden said that he had seen me leave my car so agreed I had not been longer than the allocated free time and did not warrant a ticket, but said he could not take the ticket back once issued but that our conversation was on record and I should appeal. so I did. I provided a photo of the app with the screen going around and which had timings on it.  My appeal has been rejected. Because I had not paid for parking which is free!!! to add to the confusion the 30 mins free parking sign had fallen off - see attached photo of the sign on both sides of Matham grove.    What I would like to know is do you think I should appeal the fine or pay the £55 fine now before it doubles??              
    • Nadia has helped us evolve our garden from a fairly unloved space to a stunning oasis the last few years. She’s brilliant at giving great advice on how to keep up her good work, advising on planting and doing some kind of witchcraft to make all the flowers bloom and the fruit grow on the trees. Lovely, hardworking and respectful team. Would recommend 100%
    • Hmm I suppose it depends on the decision of whoever is ‘in charge’  of the noticeboards and the nbs expressed purpose. 
    • If commercial concerns are able to use the noticeboards to advertise their businesses, will they be charged a commercial fee?
