Salford Royal Hospital Car Parks and Access Points
Visitor parking is provided on the main hospital site, with the Central Car Park accessed from Eccles Old Road and the North Car Park accessed from Stott Lane (northerncarealliance.nhs.uk). These are the principal choices for patients and visitors arriving by car, rather than staff parking, which requires a valid PermitSmarti NCA permit (northerncarealliance.nhs.uk).
The Emergency Department Village (A&E) address is Salford, M6 8HB, so drivers attending the emergency department should use the hospital approach shown for the emergency department rather than assuming every car park serves the same entrance. The official parking page identifies the Central Car Park as being off Eccles Old Road, while visitor guidance also identifies the North Car Park off Stott Lane (northerncarealliance.nhs.uk; hospitalvisitguide.com).
Arriving for Appointments and Emergency Care in Salford
The hospital is in Salford near Eccles, and the Emergency Department Village (A&E) is at M6 8HB. For an emergency visit, follow signs for the Emergency Department rather than parking first at a remote alternative, as the emergency department has its own destination within the hospital site.
Eccles Old Road and Stott Lane are the two named approaches for visitor parking, with the Central Car Park reached from Eccles Old Road and the North Car Park reached from Stott Lane (northerncarealliance.nhs.uk; hospitalvisitguide.com). Staff, volunteers and contractors use a separate permit arrangement through PermitSmarti NCA (northerncarealliance.nhs.uk), so visitor parking should not be confused with staff facilities.

Permit Controls and Street Parking Around Salford Royal
Residents' permits for the scheme are free of charge (salford.gov.uk). This means nearby residential streets are not a dependable substitute for the hospital car parks when visiting for an appointment or working a shift.
Drivers using public streets should distinguish marked bays from residential permit-controlled streets and follow the restrictions displayed at the parking location. The council’s area information is particularly relevant around Half Edge Lane, where the hospital setting and residential controls meet.
Eccles Railway Station and Bus Connections to the Hospital
Eccles railway station is the nearest station, 0.5 mi from the hospital and an 11-minute walk. The hospital address is Emergency Department Village (A&E), Salford, M6 8HB, near Eccles, so the station is a useful rail alternative for visitors who do not need to bring a car onto the site.
