Parking is free for English Heritage members, while the published visitor charges are £3.60 for 2 hours, £7.20 for 4 hours and £10.70 for 5 hours (English Heritage). The car park is only available within opening hours (English Heritage).

Hampstead Lane Parking and Nearby Alternatives
Parking is also available along Hampstead Lane, close to the entrance, but drivers must check the notices for restrictions (Friends of Kenwood). The road can be useful when the attraction car park is busy, although the signed controls on the approach take priority over convenience.
Free parking for English Heritage members applies at the official car park (English Heritage). The surrounding side roads have restricted parking (Friends of Kenwood), so Hampstead Lane is the named on-street alternative rather than a reason to leave the car in an adjoining residential street.
When Kenwood Parking Is Under Most Pressure
The car park's opening-hours rule means an early or late visit outside those hours cannot use the official facility (English Heritage).
Hampstead Lane has restrictions that are signposted locally (Friends of Kenwood). Side roads also have restricted parking (Friends of Kenwood), making the official car park or a pre-booked space more dependable than trying several residential streets. Blue Badge parking is available in five designated bays, with Blue Badge holders also welcome in any available space free of charge (English Heritage).
