Parking at Kew Gardens
The official visitor parking for Kew Gardens is at Brentford Gate, where spaces are limited and offered on a first-served basis. Parking costs £7 for 2 hours, according to Kew’s 2026 visitor information (kewgardens.org.uk). This is the practical choice for visitors heading into the gardens, but arriving early is sensible when the attraction is busy because capacity is explicitly limited.
Kew’s wider visitor guidance also lists parking at £10 per day, payable at a card-only meter or through the PayByPhone app (kew.org). The site has entrances at Brentford Gate and Elizabeth Gate, with payment also available at the kiosk at Brentford Gate (kew.org). Drivers approaching the gardens should select the entrance that matches their visit rather than assuming every car park serves every gate.
Busy Days and Controlled Streets Around Kew
Parking pressure is highest when Kew Gardens is attracting visitors, and the official 2026 visitor information specifically warns that parking is limited and recommends trains or buses for a less stressful arrival (kewgardens.org.uk). The first-served arrangement at Brentford Gate means spaces can be taken before later arrivals reach the entrance.
Kew has three controlled parking zones operating between 10am and 12pm from Monday to Friday (KewTW9.org). The local community guide also identifies a Pay & Display car park at the end of Ferry Lane (KewTW9.org). Those controls make unrestricted residential parking a poor assumption during weekday mornings, particularly for drivers leaving a car while visiting the gardens or using Kew Gardens station.
Council Car Parks and Free Parking in Kew
The council describes this car park as accessible and free to park (richmond.gov.uk), making it a useful option for drivers whose visit fits those hours.
The same council information gives a short-stay tariff of 50p for up to 15 minutes and £1 for up to 30 minutes (richmond.gov.uk). These brief tariffs suit quick errands better than a full day at the gardens. Ferry Lane also has a Pay & Display car park according to KewTW9.org, providing another named council-area alternative when the attraction’s own spaces are under pressure.
