Marischal College Multi-Storey Parking on Littlejohn Street
The council’s Marischal College car park is the closest official option for the site at 6 Littlejohn Street. Aberdeen City Council lists £3.50 for up to 2 hours, £5.05 for up to 3 hours and £6.60 for up to 4 hours, with a maximum stay of 4 hours (aberdeencity.gov.uk).
Payment is made at the meter using cashless parking (aberdeencity.gov.uk). A four-hour maximum also rules it out for longer appointments or an evening that runs beyond the permitted stay.
Other Aberdeen Car Parks for a Longer Stay
The official council result identifies the Marischal College multi-storey car park as a paid city-centre facility, while a separate listing places charging provision at Shoe Lane, Aberdeen, at the ground-floor entrance (chargemap.com). The Shoe Lane information is useful for electric-car drivers who need a charging point near the central area.
A map listing gives the car park’s published opening periods as Thursday from 6pm to 8.30pm, Saturday from 8am to 6pm and Sunday from 1pm to 5pm (mapcarta.com). Those hours are particularly relevant for weekend visits, when a driver should choose a facility with a published operating period that covers the whole planned stay.
