Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking at National Gallery on Orange Street The site has one designated parking space on Orange Street, at the back of the National Gallery, with access to the nearby Sainsbury Wing or Getty Entrance (nationalgallery.org.uk). This is the most direct arrangement for an eligible visitor, because the space is positioned beside the building rather than in a general public car park. The Orange Street space is reserved for Blue Badge holders, and advance booking is required by calling 020 7747 2885 (nationalgallery.org.uk). [Q-Park](https://www.parksy.com/blog/q-park-united-kingdom-review-pros-cons-summary-services) identifies Q-Park Trafalgar as the closest safe and secure car park, a couple of minutes' walk from the gallery (q-park.co.uk). Q-Park Burlington is listed as a nearby alternative at 12 minutes away (q-park.co.uk). ## Q-Park Options Around Covent Garden and Nearby Free Access Q-Park Trafalgar is the principal named alternative for drivers heading to the site, with Q-Park describing it as the closest safe and secure car park (q-park.co.uk). Its position a couple of minutes' walk from the gallery makes it more practical than searching for a kerbside space around St Martin's Place. Q-Park Burlington is another named option, listed at 12 minutes from the gallery (q-park.co.uk). Drivers using the public car parks should allow extra time for the walk into Covent Garden, particularly when visiting at a busy time. Show map of London ## Busy Covent Garden Driving Conditions and Street Rules Access to the gallery's dedicated space is from Orange Street at the back of the building, and the space is limited to Blue Badge holders (nationalgallery.org.uk). Whitcomb Street and Orange Street are identified in nearby gallery parking information alongside a public car park 195 metres from the Orange Street entrance (npg.org.uk). The central Covent Garden setting means street parking is best treated as a short, rule-bound stop rather than a dependable plan for a gallery visit. ## Parksy Spaces Within 165 Yards of the National Parksy lists six nearby spaces, with the closest shown at 154 yards. Three further spaces are listed at 165 yards: a Covent Garden area space at £28 a day, an Athenaeum Hotel space at £4.50 an hour, and a Hilton Park Lane space at £4.50 an hour. These options cover hotel and area-based parking rather than the single accessible bay on Orange Street, so the listing type and distance are useful when choosing between an hourly stay and a day booking. ## Walking and Rail Routes Into Covent Garden Dominion Theatre is the nearest listed station, at 0.5 miles and an 11-minute walk from the site. Temple tube station is about a 12-minute walk, while Green Park tube station is about a 13-minute walk. Those routes give drivers a practical way to leave the car outside the most congested streets and continue on foot. The National Gallery is at 2 St Martin's Place in Covent Garden, near London. The short walks from Temple and Green Park make public transport useful when a car park is full or when a visit is paired with other central destinations. From a booked parking space, continuing on foot can also avoid the tight approach around St Martin's Place and the gallery entrances.
