The closest practical options are the named Parksy spaces around Kensington Gardens and Kensington High Street. A covered space at Thistle Hotel Kensington Gardens is 298 yards away and costs £30.25 a day, while a Holiday Inn Kensington High Street space is 0.3 miles away at £25.68 an hour. These options place parking within reach of the Palace Avenue address without relying on an unconfirmed facility at the entrance. ## Kensington Gardens and High Street Car Parks Near the Site Parksy lists several nearby alternatives beyond the covered Thistle Hotel space. Secure parking at Thistle Hotel Kensington Gardens is 0.3 miles away and costs £3.75 an hour. A separate Thistle Kensington Palace space in SW7 is also 0.3 miles away, priced at £3.38 an hour. There is another Thistle Hotel Kensington Gardens secure parking space 0.3 miles away at £3.75 an hour, plus a further Thistle Hotel Kensington Gardens space 0.3 miles away at £13 a day. London Museum Docklands publishes a public car park on Hertsmere Road behind that different museum, reached from the A1206 via Ontario Way and Hertsmere Road (londonmuseum.org.uk); that facility is not a parking option for the Palace Avenue site. Show map of Bayswater ## Busy Periods and Street Restrictions Around Palace Avenue South Kensington near Bayswater is an urban museum area, so arrival planning matters when several attractions are drawing visitors. Drivers should use a booked or clearly identified off-street space rather than assume that kerbside parking is available outside the museum. The supplied official results describe restrictions and charges for other London museum sites, including a 30-minute drop-off rule at RAF Museum London before a minimum three-hour charge applies (rafmuseum.org.uk), but those conditions do not govern Palace Avenue. ## Parksy Spaces Around Kensington Gardens and Kensington High Street The nearest listed Parksy option is a secure covered parking space at Thistle Hotel Kensington Gardens, 298 yards from the site, for £30.25 a day.
