The institution’s visit guidance identifies Blue Badge parking bays near Russell Square as the campus parking provision (soas.ac.uk). The campus address is Thornhaugh Street, Bloomsbury, Greater London, WC1H 0XG. For step-free arrival, the SOAS Union accessibility guidance says the easiest taxi drop-off point is Thornhaugh Street (soasunion.org). The guidance does not provide a general campus car park operator or a campus parking rate, leaving nearby bookable spaces and public car parks as the practical choices for drivers without a Blue Badge. ## Busy Parking Periods Around Russell Square and Bloomsbury Parking around the campus is particularly pressured during university term times, open days and events, when students, staff and visitors converge on Russell Square. The surrounding Bloomsbury streets also serve the University of London area, hotels and cultural venues, making event arrivals a poor time to rely on finding an unreserved space. Drivers should note that the campus guidance directs general parking away from Russell Square and lists Blue Badge bays separately (soas.ac.uk). Thornhaugh Street is the easiest taxi drop-off point according to the SOAS Union accessibility guidance (soasunion.org), but a drop-off location should not be treated as general parking. Show map of St Giles ## Parksy Spaces Within 116 Yards of SOAS Three Parksy listings are 21 yd from the campus: a hotel car park at St Giles Hotel costs £37.90 a day, while secure hotel parking near County Hotel costs £8 an hour and secure parking at Country Inn Suites Bloomsbury costs £2.30 an hour. The hotel spaces suit visitors who want a very short walk, while the hourly options work for short lectures, meetings or appointments. At 116 yd, a Bloomsbury parking space costs £99 a month and is the most suitable listed option for a student or staff member needing recurring parking. Secure parking at Ambassadors In Bloomsbury costs £8 an hour, and secure parking at Holiday Inn London Bloomsbury costs £22.10 a day. Those two options suit visitors choosing between hourly and daily stays. ## Other Car Parks Near the Russell Square Campus The institution’s visitor information lists Brunswick Square [NCP](https://www.parksy.com/blog/national-car-parks-ncp-united-kingdom-parking-review) and a car park on Marchmont Street, WC1N 1AF, as nearby alternatives to campus parking (soas.ac.uk). The Centre for Global Finance also names The Royal National Hotel among the car parks for visitors to the area (centreforglobalfinance.org). These locations are useful when a reserved Parksy space does not fit the length of the visit. Brunswick Square NCP, Marchmont Street and The Royal National Hotel are separate from the Russell Square campus, which has no general parking (soas.ac.uk). The published local guidance does not give a free-period rule, capacity, opening hours or tariff for these alternatives, so they are best treated as public or hotel car-park choices rather than free short-stay spaces.
