Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking Beside M Shed at Wapping Wharf The nearest recommended parking for M Shed is the accessible car park at Wapping Wharf, behind the museum and off Wapping Road (Bristol Museums). The site is within 200 metres of the museum for public use (AccessAble), making it the most practical choice for a visit with luggage, children or limited mobility. Wapping Wharf short-stay car park charges £2.70 for 1 hour, £5.40 for 2 hours, £8.10 for 3 hours, £10.80 for 4 hours and £13.50 for 5 hours ([Bristol City Council](https://www.parksy.com/blog/appeal-bristol-parking-fine)). The car park is open Monday to Sunday (Wapping Wharf). A rear road on Museum Street provides drop-off and pick-up access at the museum (Bristol Museums), but it is separate from the public parking area. ## Southville Parking Pressure Around Princes Wharf Princes Wharf sits in a busy harbourside area, so short-stay parking can be under pressure during popular visitor periods and at weekends. Museum Street is used for drop-off and pick-up at the rear of the building (Bristol Museums). Accessible parking is located at Wapping Wharf behind M Shed (Bristol Museums), so drivers who need an accessible bay should head there rather than stopping on the rear road. Show map of Southville ## Parksy Spaces Within 295 Yards of M Shed Parksy lists six nearby spaces, all between 292 and 295 yards away. The closest is secure Harbourside parking, a monthly space at £83 a month and 292 yards away. At 293 yards, spaces at Aztec Hotel, Bristol and Ibis Bristol Centre each cost £1.40 an hour, while a Gladstones Clinic Bristol space costs £6.90 an hour. Secure underground parking in central Bristol is 295 yards away at £3.50 an hour. These options give drivers a choice between hourly parking and a monthly arrangement, with the listed spaces all positioned close to the harbourside museum. ## Other Named Car Parks Near the Harbourside Museum Millennium Square Car Park is a 24-hour underground car park on Bristol’s Harbourside (Millennium Square Car Park). The Grove Car Park and [NCP](https://www.parksy.com/blog/national-car-parks-ncp-united-kingdom-parking-review) Prince Street Car Park are also named as nearby alternatives for visitors travelling to the museum (Host Bristol). These car parks place drivers on the central Bristol side of the harbourside rather than directly behind the building. Wapping Wharf remains the council-named short-stay option, with charges of £2.70 for 1 hour, £5.40 for 2 hours, £8.10 for 3 hours, £10.80 for 4 hours and £13.50 for 5 hours (Bristol City Council). Visitors arriving by coach should use the coach pick-up and set-down information provided through TravelWest and Visit Bristol (Bristol Museums). ## Walking From Bedminster and Bristol Temple Meads Bedminster railway station is the nearest station, at 0.5 miles and an 11-minute walk from M Shed. It is the most direct rail choice for visitors approaching from the south and west, with the walk ending at Princes Wharf in Southville. Bristol Temple Meads railway station is approximately a 16-minute walk away, while Bristol St Philip’s railway station is approximately a 20-minute walk away. Temple Meads is therefore a useful central alternative for visitors arriving on longer-distance services, with St Philip’s providing another rail option for the city centre approach.
