Chatham Place for Harris Arcade Visits
Q-Park identifies Chatham Place as the car park for visitors to Harris Arcade, placing parking in the heart of Reading and a short walk from Friar Street (q-park.co.uk). Its position makes it a practical starting point for the covered arcade at 24 Harris Arcade, especially when the visit includes other central shops.
The operator’s Harris Arcade page specifically directs drivers to Chatham Place, rather than describing an on-site car park at the arcade itself (q-park.co.uk). Use the Chatham Place entrance shown by Q-Park when planning a town-centre arrival, then continue on foot towards the arcade and Friar Street.
Reading Town-Centre Parking at Busy Times
Weekends, shopping periods and town-centre events can make the central streets around Harris particularly competitive. Broad Street Mall car park is open 24 hours from Monday to Sunday, giving drivers an alternative when daytime activity continues into the evening (reading.gov.uk).
Broad Street Mall has 720 spaces, including 10 parent and child bays and 16 disabled bays (broadstreetmall.com). The council also lists a night rate and a restriction to parking between 6.00am and 8.00am in the published tariff information (reading.gov.uk).

Broad Street Mall and Saxon Court Alternatives
Broad Street Mall car park is a named town-centre option for visitors heading to Harris, with its entrance serving the shopping area and a 24-hour opening schedule from Monday to Sunday (reading.gov.uk). Its 720-space capacity gives it scale for shopping trips and central errands, although the published charges make the intended stay length important (broadstreetmall.com).
Saxon Court Car Park is another named Reading town-centre facility near The Oracle. Green Parking describes it as offering long-stay parking and advertises parking in Reading from £2 (green-parking.co.uk). The location can work when a visit combines Harris Arcade with The Oracle or other south-central destinations, rather than requiring a space immediately beside the arcade.
