The site is at 395 Mill Lane, Stamshaw, Portsmouth, PO1 4QL, so using a nearby public or private space is more practical for a visit that lasts beyond a quick set-down. The museum’s visitor information points drivers towards a car park at the end of Old Commercial Road (charlesdickensbirthplace.co.uk). Visit Portsmouth describes on-site parking close by as chargeable, while the museum’s accessibility information states that its car park is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week (visitportsmouth.co.uk; charlesdickensbirthplace.co.uk). The Old Commercial Road option is therefore the clearest nearby recommendation for visitors who need to leave a vehicle during opening hours. ## Old Commercial Road and All Saints Parking Options The small pay-and-display car park on Old Commercial Road is one of the named public options for visiting the site (charlesdickensbirthplace.co.uk). The museum’s visit information places this car park at the end of Old Commercial Road, making the entry point useful to remember when approaching from the surrounding streets (charlesdickensbirthplace.co.uk). All Saints Car Park on Church Road is another named alternative, and it is also pay and display (charlesdickensbirthplace.co.uk). Church Street car park can be accessed as a further alternative according to the museum’s visitor information (charlesdickensbirthplace.co.uk). Street parking around the museum is restricted, so these marked car parks are more suitable than relying on an unmarked space near the entrance.

A space near Somers Town in Southsea is also 0.2 mi away and costs £6 an hour. The secure 24/7 garage in Portsmouth with EV charging is 0.3 mi away at £4 an hour. For longer stays, a secure space on George Byng Way near the ferry port is 0.4 mi away and costs £16.90 a day. Parking at Cascades Shopping Centre is 0.4 mi away and costs £5 an hour.
