Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking at the British Museum in Bloomsbury The British Museum does not offer parking facilities for general visitors, and its accessibility guidance confirms that there are no on-site parking spaces available (britishmuseum.org). Drivers should plan for a nearby car park or a pre-booked private space rather than expecting to park within the museum grounds. Blue Badge parking bays are available near the site on Montague Place and Montague Street (britishmuseum.org). For standard parking, [NCP](https://www.parksy.com/blog/national-car-parks-ncp-united-kingdom-parking-review) London Bloomsbury Square is a nearby recommended option, with pay-on-the-day charges of £14 for 1 to 2 hours, £20 for 2 to 3 hours, £26 for 3 to 4 hours, £32 for 4 to 5 hours and £38 for 5 to 24 hours (ncp.co.uk). ## Busy Times and Street Rules Around Bloomsbury The museum specifically directs drivers with accessibility needs towards Blue Badge bays on Montague Place and Montague Street (britishmuseum.org). Montague Place and Montague Street are therefore the key streets to identify when planning an accessible visit, while general drivers need to use an off-site facility. The museum’s visitor guidance also advises people planning to arrive by car that parking facilities are not provided (britishmuseum.org).
