## Driving to Tate Modern on Bankside

Tate Modern has no parking facilities of its own, and parking is also unavailable in the surrounding streets (tate.org.uk). The gallery is at 53 Bankside, Southwark, Greater London, SE1 9TG, so drivers need to arrange parking away from the building before continuing on foot.

Baynard House Car Park is a nearby official option operated by the City of London. It has 159 spaces, six disabled bays and a height restriction of 1.85m (cityoflondon.gov.uk). The car park also has many motorcycle spaces on level 2 (cityoflondon.gov.uk), making it a practical choice for vehicles that meet the height limit.

## Busy Bankside Streets and Tate Modern Parking Pressure

Bankside is a central riverside destination, and the lack of parking at the gallery makes surrounding streets unsuitable for relying on an unplanned space. Tate identifies public transport as the easiest way to reach the site (tate.org.uk), which is particularly relevant when visitor demand is high.

Street parking information published for Tate Britain should not be applied to Tate Modern. Tate Britain has limited pay-and-display parking around its own building on weekdays, with [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) at weekends and after 18.30 on weekdays (tate.org.uk). Tate Modern is separately identified as having no parking in the surrounding streets (tate.org.uk).

## Baynard House and Other Car Parks Near the River

Baynard House Car Park provides 159 spaces near the Tate area, including six disabled bays (cityoflondon.gov.uk). Its 1.85m height limit is important for taller cars and vans (cityoflondon.gov.uk), while many motorcycle spaces are available on level 2 (cityoflondon.gov.uk).

A parking guide for the gallery identifies 185 Park Street as the closest parking location and 91 Southwark Street as a free parking location (spotangels.com). These locations are separate from Tate Modern, whose own site has no parking facilities (tate.org.uk), so they are alternatives to the building rather than venue-operated spaces.

## Parksy Spaces Within a Short Walk of the Tate

Parksy lists a secure parking space in Bankside, London SE1 9TG, 92 yd from the site, at £165 a month. A secure covered space on Holland St is 120 yd away and costs £12 a day.

Three further monthly options are listed nearby: a secure 24/7 allocated parking garage in Southwark, 216 yd away, at £100 a month; a secure Bankside space with 24/7 access, 235 yd away, at £125 a month; and a secure covered Hopton Street space in Southwark, also 235 yd away, at £125 a month.

A secure parking garage in Southwark, London SE1, is 235 yd away and costs £12 a day. These spaces cover Bankside, Holland Street, Hopton Street and nearby Southwark locations, giving drivers several pre-arranged choices close to the gallery.

## Stations and Walking Routes to Tate Modern

Blackfriars tube station is the nearest station, at 0.3 mi from Tate Modern and a 7 min walk. Southwark tube station is about a 7 min walk, while London Waterloo East railway station is about a 9 min walk.

The three stations provide practical alternatives to taking a car into Bankside. Blackfriars offers the shortest stated distance, Southwark is also around a 7 min walk, and Waterloo East adds a rail connection within about 9 min on foot.
