This puts the car close to the seafront entrance, which is useful when you are carrying beach equipment or travelling with children. For a larger choice of short-walk options, [NCP](https://www.parksy.com/blog/national-car-parks-ncp-united-kingdom-parking-review) says three of its car parks are available within a short walk of the pier (ncp.co.uk). The operator specifically highlights Brighton Theatre car park for parking close to the attraction (ncp.co.uk). The council’s Lanes car park is at Black Lion Street, Brighton, BN1 1ND, with a weekday rate of £4 for one hour and a weekend rate of £6 for one hour (brighton-hove.gov.uk). ## The Lanes and NCP Alternatives Around Brighton Seafront Brighton Theatre car park is an NCP option identified for the pier, while NCP also provides two further car parks within a short walk of the attraction (ncp.co.uk). Russell Road car park is described as handy for Brighton Pier and the beach (mygetaways.co.uk), making it a practical alternative when the seafront area is busy. The Lanes car park on Black Lion Street gives drivers a central council-run option away from Madeira Drive. Its published weekday charge is £4 for one hour, while the weekend one-hour charge is £6 (brighton-hove.gov.uk). Brighton Pier’s visitor information also describes parking as widely available (brightonpier.co.uk), and the council-operated Madeira Drive Pay & Display car park remains the closest named option to the site (brightonpier.co.uk). Show map of Kemptown ## Summer and Event-Day Parking Pressure in Kemptown Brighton Pier is on Lower Esplanade in Kemptown, BN2 1EN, beside the seafront. The location brings extra pressure to nearby parking during warm-weather days, school holidays and busy attraction visits, particularly when drivers are competing for spaces close to Madeira Drive. Madeira Drive parking is Pay & Display and operated by Brighton & Hove City Council (brightonpier.co.uk). The Lanes car park is on Black Lion Street, Brighton, BN1 1ND (brighton-hove.gov.uk), so drivers heading there should follow the signed approach rather than treating the pier-side road as a through route. Brighton Pier’s visitor information says the attraction is less than an hour from London by train and receives daily coaches (brightonpier.co.uk), adding to visitor demand around the seafront. ## Parksy Spaces Within 0.4 Miles of Brighton Pier Parksy lists several spaces around central Brighton and Queens, all within 0.4 miles of the pier. The closest priced choices are a driveway space in Queens, Brighton, BN1, 0.3 miles away at £7.20 a day, and a covered space on Kings Road, Brighton, BN1, 0.3 miles away at £20 a day. Other nearby priced spaces include a secured garage in Regent Arcade, 0.3 miles away at £125 a week, plus an underground space in central Brighton, 0.3 miles away at £5.20 an hour. A 24/7 space at Drakes Hotel is also 0.3 miles away and costs £4.50 an hour. The furthest priced listing is a Stashbee space in Brighton, BN1, 0.4 miles away at £55 a month. ## Walking From London Road Station to Brighton Pier London Road railway station is the nearest station listed for Brighton Pier. It is 1.4 miles from the site and takes 28 minutes to walk, so rail travel can avoid the search for a seafront space during busy visiting periods. The pier is at Lower Esplanade, Kemptown, Brighton, BN2 1EN. From London Road station, the 28-minute walk provides a straightforward car-free approach to the attraction, while drivers using central Brighton parking can combine their visit with the same walk through the city towards the seafront.
