Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Gunwharf Quays Parking for Spinnaker Tower The recommended car park for visitors is Gunwharf Quays Car Park, beside the site at The Canalside, Gunwharf Quays, PO1 3TT. Spinnaker Tower’s parking information gives a car parking charge of £5 all day (spinnakertower.co.uk). The Gunwharf Quays operator states that the car park is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week (gunwharf-quays.com), making it practical for early arrivals, evening events and visits that run beyond normal shopping hours. Coach parking is within Gunwharf Quays, 200 metres from the attraction, according to Spinnaker Tower’s group parking information (spinnakertower.co.uk). Accessible parking spaces are available near the entrance (spinnakertower.co.uk). The car park sits in the same waterfront complex as the tower, so it is the most straightforward choice when keeping the walk short matters more than finding a cheaper space. ## Other Portsmouth Car Parks Around Gunwharf Quays Drivers looking beyond the main Gunwharf Quays facility can use nearby named alternatives in Portsmouth. Wickham Street Car Park is one option, while Britain Street also has parking close to the waterfront. These locations are useful when the principal complex is busy, although the walk to the tower will be longer than parking within Gunwharf Quays. The attraction’s own information identifies coach parking within Gunwharf Quays, 200 metres from Spinnaker Tower (spinnakertower.co.uk). Gunwharf Quays Car Park is the named facility associated with the attraction’s parking directions, while Wickham Street Car Park and Britain Street provide separate nearby choices for drivers approaching the central Portsmouth area.

Two further hourly choices are a space at Wickham Street Car Park, 0.2 miles away at £1 an hour, and a space on Britain Street, 0.3 miles away at £1 an hour. A space at Basepoint Business Centre Gosport is 0.5 miles away and costs £4.70 an hour. The listings cover hourly, daily and monthly stays, so the best fit depends on whether the visit is brief, all-day or part of a regular routine. ## Busy Times and Driving Around Gunwharf Quays Gunwharf Quays Car Park operates around the clock, but waterfront demand can still build during popular shopping periods and visitor days. Spinnaker Tower’s suggested length of a visit is one hour (spinnakertower.co.uk), so short-stay turnover can be high around arrival times. The site is signposted across Portsmouth, and its approach is through Gunwharf Quays rather than a separate tower-only entrance (spinnakertower.co.uk). The Canalside address places the attraction within the waterfront complex, where drivers need to follow the signed access route and use marked parking facilities. Accessible spaces are available near the entrance (spinnakertower.co.uk), which is particularly useful for visitors who need a shorter route from the vehicle to the attraction. ## Walking and Rail Access to Spinnaker Tower Portsmouth Harbour railway station is the nearest station, 221 yards from Spinnaker Tower, around a three-minute walk. The route brings visitors directly into the Gunwharf Quays waterfront area, avoiding the need to find a space in the central complex. This is the most convenient rail option for a visit focused on the tower and harbour. Portsmouth and Southsea railway station is around a 16-minute walk away, while Gosport railway station is around a 19-minute walk away. These stations provide alternatives for journeys connecting through the wider Portsmouth area.
