Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Event-Day Parking at Royal Festival Hall The venue has four free Blue Badge parking spaces for visitors, allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, on the Queen Elizabeth Hall slip road (Southbank Centre). This is the clearest official parking provision for an event at Royal Festival Hall, so Blue Badge holders should plan around availability rather than expect a general visitor car park. The nearby South Bank car park is a five-minute walk from the venue and operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week (Southbank Centre). Alternative parking is available at the National Theatre car park and Cornwall Road multi-storey car park, both subject to charges (Event Travel). ## National Theatre, Cornwall Road and South Bank Alternatives [APCOA](https://www.parksy.com/blog/apcoa-parking-united-kingdom-review-pros-cons-summary-services)’s South Bank car park is the most clearly priced named alternative for drivers visiting the venue. The car park is five minutes from Royal Festival Hall (Southbank Centre), making it practical for a concert when the riverside becomes busy. Event Travel names the National Theatre car park and Cornwall Road multi-storey car park as alternative parking for Royal Festival Hall (Event Travel). Cornwall Road is in Waterloo, while the National Theatre is on the South Bank, close to the venue. Show map of London ## Belvedere Road and South Bank Street Restrictions Royal Festival Hall is on Belvedere Road in Waterloo, beside the South Bank cultural complex. The venue’s official access information places the four free Blue Badge spaces on the Queen Elizabeth Hall slip road (Southbank Centre), so general parking should not be assumed on that access route. Event parking demand is concentrated around performances, when the National Theatre, Royal Festival Hall and other South Bank venues can draw arrivals at similar times. The official venue guidance identifies Blue Badge parking as first come, first served (Southbank Centre). Drivers using public streets around Belvedere Road and the Queen Elizabeth Hall slip road need to follow the signed restrictions and any event-day controls in force, rather than treating a short stop as event parking. ## Parksy Spaces Within 315 Yards of the Venue Parksy lists a secure parking lot on Belvedere Road, 172 yards away, at £12 a day. A secure space near the Royal National Theatre is 272 yards away and costs £17.50 an hour. A secure 24/7 lighted garage in London SE1 is 315 yards away at £65 a day. Other priced Parksy choices include a secure 24/7 garage in the City of London, 0.2 miles away, at £50 a day; affordable parking at Cornwall Road in Waterloo, 0.2 miles away, at £4.68 an hour; and covered parking at the Royal National Theatre, 0.2 miles away, at £15 an hour. The 172-yard Belvedere Road space is the shortest listed walk after a show, while the 315-yard garage is the furthest of the spaces measured in yards. ## Waterloo Stations and the Walk to Royal Festival Hall Waterloo International railway station is the nearest station, 0.2 miles from Royal Festival Hall and a five-minute walk. London Waterloo station is also around five minutes on foot, placing the venue within easy reach for visitors arriving by mainline train. Waterloo tube station is around a six-minute walk from the venue. The address is Belvedere Road, Waterloo, Greater London, SE1 8XX, beside the South Bank, so rail passengers can combine a short station walk with the riverside route to the concert hall.
