Residential Streets Around London Road and Craven Road
Parking directly around the hospital is constrained by the demand for the hospital’s own car parks and by the surrounding urban streets. The hospital’s official travel guidance directs visitors towards its designated car parks rather than relying on nearby residential roads (Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust). A Parksy booking is therefore more suitable than leaving a vehicle on an unfamiliar street during an appointment or shift.

The hospital’s patient and visitor parking is concentrated in the multi-storey car park, while the trust specifically warns that spaces can be difficult to find (Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust).
