Free Parking Around Putney Exchange and Putney High Street
Putney Exchange car park, entered from Lacy Road, has approximately 250 spaces and offers one hour of free parking to Waitrose customers spending £20 or more in store, provided the ticket is validated at the checkout (putneyexchange.co.uk). This is customer parking rather than a general free car park, so it suits a short grocery visit rather than a day in central Putney.

When Putney’s Short-Stay Spaces Fill Up
