Parking at our hospitals is limited so we encourage you to consider other ways of getting to us. Perhaps a friend can drop you off, you can cycle, take a taxi cab or use one of the many bus routes that drop you right on site. Our hospitals are really well served by public transport and we actively encourage our patients, visitors and staff to use these where possible.

Charges help us pay for the maintenance and improvements of our car parks so they are safe for you to use throughout the day. There is no charge for motorcycles to park at our Trust. Motorcycles are permitted to park in the multi-storey car park or can utilise the bike park, outside near the bus stops.
The King George Hospital main car park is operated by automatic number plate recognition (ANPR). This means there are no entrance or exit barriers and you don't collect a paper ticket on entry. Cameras record the registration plate of each entrance and exit.
Before you leave, enter your vehicle registration into the payment machine, which will tell you the amount to be paid. Payment machines are near the Emergency Department, block 6 entrance and at the exit. The machines accept cash and contactless payment.
All machines have clear instructions, parking charges and parking enforcement information. If you leave without paying you will pay a penalty charge.
Blue Badge Holders can park for free in the dedicated disabled parking areas by the main entrance and near the Treatment Centre. You must pay to park elsewhere.
Multi-storey car park
The multi-storey car park is operated by automatic number plate recognition (ANPR). The entry barriers will rise when your number plate has been recognised and you won't need to collect a paper ticket on entry.
Patients and visitors can park on the ground and first floor, and designated area of the second floor of the multi-storey car park.
When you leave the hospital, pay your tariff at the machines located between the main entrance and the car park. The machines accept cash and contactless payment. If you don't pay, the exit barrier will not let you out.
