Tower Car Park and the Hospital’s Official Parking
Tower Car Park is the named parking location for Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, at the hospital address in Gloucester, GL1 3LE. The car park is operated by Saba Parking and is open 24/7, with a maximum tariff of £15.90 for up to 24 hours; Saba also lists £23 for one week and £46 for two weeks (sabaparking.co.uk). The hospital’s official tariff for its Royal Hospitals is £2.90 for up to 1 hour, £5.70 for up to 2 hours, £8 for up to 3 hours and £9.50 for the next published band (gloshospitals.nhs.uk).
Parking is controlled by the system shown on the sign at the entrance to each car park, according to the hospital’s transport and parking information (gloshospitals.nhs.uk). The hospital also publishes a two-week parking cost of £40 and states that a standard parking space can be used under its parking arrangements (gloshospitals.nhs.uk). These tariffs make Tower Car Park the practical starting point for visitors who need to stay close to the main hospital site, particularly when an appointment or ward visit may run beyond an hour.
Residential Streets Around the Tower Car Park Site
The hospital’s official parking information directs drivers to the sign at the entrance of each car park for the applicable parking system (gloshospitals.nhs.uk). Drivers visiting the hospital should use marked parking rather than treating surrounding housing streets as overflow capacity.
Great Western Road is an official Gloucester city car park with 56 spaces and pay-and-display parking. Great Western Road is therefore a useful alternative for drivers whose vehicle fits the height limit and who need an all-day stay.
Arriving for Appointments, Wards and the Emergency Department
For a hospital visit, Tower Car Park is the most direct named destination because it is the car park address for the site. The hospital’s official transport guidance says the parking system is stated on a sign at the entrance to each car park, so drivers can identify the payment arrangement before leaving the vehicle (gloshospitals.nhs.uk). A visitor carrying luggage or assisting someone with limited mobility should plan the approach around the marked hospital parking rather than relying on a residential street.
Its 2.00 metre height restriction is important for taller cars and vans (gloucester.gov.uk). For an emergency, the sensible priority is reaching the emergency department access rather than searching for the cheapest space, while routine appointments and ward visits are better suited to a planned car-park stay.
Parksy Spaces Close to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital
