Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking at The Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum on Market Street The Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum does not have its own car park, according to the museum’s access information (samueljohnsonbirthplace.org.uk). Drivers should therefore plan for a short walk from a city-centre car park rather than expect on-site parking at 31 Market Street. The museum says that parking spaces on Market Square and Bird Street have been suspended, and identifies Bird Street car park as the closest current option (samueljohnsonbirthplace.org.uk). The museum provides the contact number 01543 264972 for parking enquiries (samueljohnsonbirthplace.org.uk). The site is in Lichfield city centre, where several alternative car parks are within walking distance (samueljohnsonbirthplace.org.uk). ## Bird Street and Other Lichfield City-Centre Car Parks Bird Street car park is the nearest recommended car park named by the museum after parking spaces on Market Square and Bird Street were suspended (samueljohnsonbirthplace.org.uk). The museum’s visitor information directs drivers towards Lichfield’s wider city parking information for other nearby car parks (samueljohnsonbirthplace.org.uk). For a longer stay, the Lichfield City Station car park is a practical named alternative, with a Parksy space listed at £5.40 a day and 0.2 miles from the site. M Three Spires has a 24/7 Parksy space listed at £4 an hour and 319 yards away. The Best Western George Hotel has a Parksy space listed at 90 pence an hour and 0.7 miles away. Show map of Lichfield ## Parksy Spaces Close to the Museum The closest Parksy listing is a 24/7 space at M Three Spires, 319 yards from SJBM, priced at £4 an hour. Lichfield City Station has a car-park space 0.2 miles away at £5.40 a day, giving drivers a nearby option for a visit lasting several hours. Further choices include a space at the Best Western George Hotel, 0.7 miles away at 90 pence an hour, and a space at Lichfield Trent Valley Station, 1.1 miles away at £10.50 a day. A Lichfield, Staffordshire parking space is listed 1.5 miles away at £14 a month, while Shenstone Station car park is 3.1 miles away at £3.50 a day. ## Busy City-Centre Periods and Suspended Parking Streets Market Square and Bird Street parking spaces have been suspended, so drivers should not plan to use those marked spaces when visiting SJBM (samueljohnsonbirthplace.org.uk). The museum names Bird Street car park as the closest current parking location (samueljohnsonbirthplace.org.uk). The museum is open from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm, according to Visit Lichfield (visitlichfield.co.uk). Those hours place arrivals and departures within the daytime city-centre period, when a nearby space can be more convenient than searching along the surrounding streets. Lichfield’s parking information is provided through the city parking service linked by the museum (samueljohnsonbirthplace.org.uk). ## Walking From Lichfield City Railway Station Lichfield City railway station is the nearest station to The Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum, at 0.2 miles away and a five-minute walk. Rail provides a straightforward alternative for visitors who would rather avoid city-centre parking and continue on foot to Market Street. The Lichfield City Station Parksy space is also listed 0.2 miles from SJBM and costs £5.40 a day. The station therefore combines a nearby rail arrival with a named parking option for drivers who are travelling to Lichfield by car before walking the final distance to the museum.
