The Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital Car Parks and Charges
The hospital’s official parking page lists charges of £4.20 for 0 to 2 hours, £8.40 for 2 to 4 hours, £11 for 4 to 6 hours, £11 for 6 to 12 hours, and £18.20 for 12 to 24 hours (uhsussex.nhs.uk). These bands suit both shorter outpatient appointments and longer stays, although a full-day visit reaches the £11 six-to-12-hour charge before the 24-hour rate applies.
Disabled Badge Holders are specifically included in the hospital’s parking information (uhsussex.nhs.uk). The hospital is on Eastern Road, Kemptown, BN2 5BE, giving drivers a clear destination for sat-nav planning. The official page also provides the hospital’s parking information alongside its directions and facilities pages (uhsussex.nhs.uk).
Eastern Road and Kemptown Parking Restrictions
Eastern Road is the hospital’s street address, so visitors should expect the approach to be shaped by hospital access arrangements rather than treating the road as a convenient substitute car park. The hospital’s official site directs visitors to dedicated parking information for the Alex (uhsussex.nhs.uk).
On-street parking around Kemptown can be especially difficult during busy hospital periods because residential streets serve local homes as well as patients, visitors and staff. The published local result describes on-site parking as over-subscribed, with long waits common, and limited short-term on-street parking (echo-uk.org). For a longer appointment or shift, a booked off-street space is more practical than relying on a short stay near Eastern Road.
