The car park is scheduled to close permanently on 23 June because it no longer aligns with the expectations of today’s shoppers (BBC). Drivers planning a visit after the closure date should use one of the nearby alternatives instead of treating the centre car park as a dependable long-term option. ## Parksy Spaces Around the High Street Centre Parksy lists a secure 24/7 space at Herschel Street Car Park, 229 yards away, priced at £12 a day. A parking-lot space with a disabled bay is 237 yards away at £1.50 an hour, while a secure gated parking-lot space is 300 yards away at £2 an hour. These options suit drivers who want a bookable space close to the centre and need an alternative to the Observatory car park. Slough Station Car Park is 307 yards away and costs £2 an hour. Parksy also lists a space in Slough at 0.3 miles for £71 a month and a 24/7 space at Automotive House, Slough, 0.3 miles away at £8.50 an hour. The hourly choices can beat a centre car park when a driver wants a known rate, while the monthly listing is aimed at regular parking rather than a single shopping trip. Show map of Slough ## Weekend Shopping, Sales and the Queensmere Closure The centre car park is due to close permanently on 23 June, according to the BBC, so the closure is the main rule affecting drivers visiting the shopping centre. The stated reason is that the car park no longer aligns with the expectations of today’s shoppers (BBC). This makes planning important for weekend visits, sales and event days, when demand for convenient spaces is likely to be concentrated around the High Street. ## Herschel Street and Slough Station Car Parks Nearby The Herschel Street option is listed by Parksy as a secure 24/7 space 229 yards from the centre for £12 a day. The station option is 307 yards away at £2 an hour, providing a named alternative for drivers combining shopping with a rail journey. Other nearby named choices include Automotive House, Slough, where Parksy lists a 24/7 space 0.3 miles away for £8.50 an hour. Parksy also lists a secure gated parking-lot space 300 yards away for £2 an hour and a parking-lot space with a disabled bay 237 yards away for £1.50 an hour. The named options cover daily, hourly and [monthly parking](https://www.parksy.com/blog/find-monthly-parking-near-me-practical-guide) needs without relying on the centre car park. ## Walking From Slough Railway Station to 172 High Street Slough railway station is the nearest station to the centre, at 0.2 miles away and a four-minute walk. The destination is 172 High Street, Slough, SL1 1JP, so rail passengers can continue on foot rather than arranging a separate transfer for the final part of the journey.
