Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking at the Institute of Contemporary Arts The Institute of Contemporary Arts is at 14 Carlton House Terrace, Covent Garden, near London. The site does not have parking on The Mall, although car and taxi drop-offs are possible at the main entrance (ica.art). This makes a nearby bay or pre-booked space more practical for drivers carrying passengers or equipment. Metered parking bays are available in Waterloo Place and Carlton House Terrace (ica.art). The ICA’s visitor guidance also identifies these streets as parking locations, so they are the closest official on-street choices to the entrance (ica.art). The guidance does not publish a car-park capacity or opening hours for the site itself. ## Whitcombe Street and Spring Gardens Car Parks Near the ICA Drivers looking beyond the immediate metered bays can use the car parks identified by the ICA in Whitcombe Street and Spring Gardens (ica.art). Both are named in the venue’s directions as nearby car-park locations, making them useful alternatives when Waterloo Place or Carlton House Terrace are busy. The ICA also confirms that passengers can be dropped off at the main entrance, while The Mall itself has no parking (ica.art). A drop-off followed by parking in Whitcombe Street or Spring Gardens separates the entrance stop from the longer stay and avoids treating The Mall as a parking street. Show map of London ## Busy Times and Parking Rules Around Carlton House Terrace Waterloo Place and Carlton House Terrace use metered parking bays (ica.art), so drivers need to follow the controls displayed on the relevant bay. The ICA’s visitor information identifies these streets rather than The Mall for parking, while allowing car and taxi drop-offs at the main entrance (ica.art). Events and exhibitions can make the central Covent Garden area near London especially demanding for drivers, with nearby metered bays and named car parks serving visitors as well as other central traffic. The practical choice is to treat the street bays as limited short-stay opportunities and use Whitcombe Street or Spring Gardens when a longer visit is planned. ## Green Park and St. James's Park Access to the ICA Green Park tube station is the nearest station, at 0.5 miles and an 11-minute walk from the site. This provides a straightforward alternative when driving into Covent Garden near London would add time around the central streets. St. James's Park tube station is also about an 11-minute walk away, while Dominion Theatre is about a 13-minute walk away. These walking times make tube access particularly useful for visitors who prefer to leave the car in a nearby space and complete the final approach on foot.
