The venue says there is very minimal parking in the neighbouring area (southwarkplayhouse.co.uk), so drivers should not plan on finding a venue-operated car park beside the theatre. The nearest Blue Badge parking identified by the venue is at Waterloo Hub Hotel through [YourParkingSpace](https://www.parksy.com/blog/yourparkingspace-united-kingdom-parking-review) Limited (southwarkplayhouse.co.uk). The venue's published access information also points drivers towards the London parking service rather than on-site spaces. ## Street Parking and Enforcement Around Elephant and Castle The theatre's access guidance describes parking in the neighbouring area as very minimal (southwarkplayhouse.co.uk), making unrestricted street parking an unreliable choice for an evening performance. The venue is at Dante Place, close to Newington Butts and Newington Causeway, where the surrounding roads serve a busy transport interchange. Drivers looking for a legal kerbside space should follow the restrictions and payment instructions displayed on the street, rather than assuming a space is available for the duration of a show. Show map of Kennington ## Parksy Spaces Close to Southwark Playhouse Elephant Parksy lists a driveway space in Brook Drive, 200 yd away, at £12 a day. A space near St Thomas' Hospital in Lambeth is 248 yd away and costs £4 an hour, while a 24/7 space at Castlebrook Close, SE11, is also 248 yd away at £13.50 an hour. A 24/7 Lambeth space named Metropolis is 255 yd away at £75 a month. Covered parking in Elephant and Castle, SE17, is 273 yd away at £80 a month, and a 24/7 space on Kennington Lane is 283 yd away at £4.50 an hour. These short distances leave a walk of roughly five minutes after a performance, depending on the route and pace. ## Elephant and Castle Rail Access to the Theatre Elephant & Castle railway station is the nearest station, 330 yd from the theatre and a four-minute walk. The venue's own site identifies Elephant and Castle as the closest tube station, with Northern and Bakerloo line services, and recommends the London Southbank University exit (southwarkplayhouse.co.uk). Kennington tube station is another nearby option, at approximately a six-minute walk. The theatre's address in Elephant and Castle, near Kennington, places both stations within a manageable walking distance for visitors who prefer to leave the car outside the busiest central roads.
