Market Place is a town-centre setting, so the practical approach is to use one of the nearby named car parks rather than expect parking directly beside the monument. [NCP](https://www.parksy.com/blog/national-car-parks-ncp-united-kingdom-parking-review) lists central Preston parking close to the Harris Museum & Art Gallery, providing a recognised option for reaching Market Square on foot (ncp.co.uk). ## Named Parking Around Market Square and Central Preston NCP’s Preston parking service covers central car parks close to the Harris Museum & Art Gallery (ncp.co.uk). This is a useful area for visitors who want to leave the car outside Market Place and continue through the central streets on foot. Visit Preston places parking information within its visitor information for Preston Cenotaph (visitpreston.co.uk). The central location means drivers can combine a visit to the memorial with nearby city-centre destinations, but the named parking information should be used alongside the access arrangements displayed at each car park. Show map of Preston ## Busy Times and Driving Around Market Place Market Square is the setting for Preston’s Cenotaph (Wikipedia), making the surrounding centre more sensitive to crowding during commemorative services. The memorial was originally built for Preston people lost in the First World War and now represents those lost in later conflicts (preston.gov.uk). Visit Preston includes travel and parking with its Preston Cenotaph visitor information (visitpreston.co.uk). Drivers should expect the central streets around Market Place to be less convenient when services or city-centre activity bring more pedestrians into the square, and should plan to park before reaching the immediate monument area. ## Walking and Rail Access to Market Place Preston railway station is the nearest station listed for the site, 0.4 miles away, with a 9-minute walk to 36 Market Place. This gives rail passengers a direct central route without needing to [find a parking space](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) beside the memorial. Maudland Bridge railway station is another rail option, approximately a 10-minute walk away. Both stations place visitors within walking distance of the Market Place setting, where the Preston Cenotaph stands (Wikipedia).
