Shortlands Railway Station Car Park on Shortlands Road

The station car park is operated by APCOA and is entered from Shortlands Road, the station’s address in Shortlands near Bromley. National Rail lists 39 parking spaces, with no accessible parking spaces, plus a drop-off and pick-up point (nationalrail.co.uk). APCOA also lists Blue Badge parking as free, while the general tariff applies to other users (apcoa.co.uk).

APCOA’s published tariff is £7.50 for Tuesday to Thursday, £8 for a day off peak from 10:00, £6.80 on Saturday and £6.10 on Sunday (apcoa.co.uk). The station information lists parking hours of 06:10 to 19:30, with Sunday hours of 08:10 to 15:40 (thameslinkrailway.com). These details make the main car park most relevant to drivers who want to leave a vehicle beside the platforms rather than walk from a residential street.

Commuter Parking and APCOA Tickets at Shortlands

With 39 spaces at the station, early arrival matters for commuters who want to park on site (nationalrail.co.uk). The published station hours are 06:10 to 19:30, with Sunday access shown as 08:10 to 15:40 (thameslinkrailway.com). A driver travelling on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday should allow for the £7.50 daily rate, while the listed day off-peak tariff from 10:00 is £6.80 (apcoa.co.uk).

APCOA lists a one-week parking option at £31.70 and shows parking code 1 for Shortlands (apcoaconnect.com). The operator also provides pre-booking information for the car park and records 39 spaces (prebook.apcoa.co.uk). There is a drop-off and pick-up point at the station, but National Rail records no accessible parking spaces, so Blue Badge users should note the separate APCOA statement that Blue Badge parking is free (nationalrail.co.uk; apcoa.co.uk).

Parksy Spaces Within Walking Distance of the Station

Parksy lists a parking space at The Sloane Hospital in Shortlands, 228 yards away, priced at £4.60 a day. A second space near Eltham Palace Surgery in SE9 is 234 yards away and costs £4.90 a day. These nearby spaces suit commuters who want a pre-arranged place within a short walk rather than relying on the station’s limited 39-space car park.

On Bromley Road, a parking space in BR2 is 333 yards from the station and costs £8.50 a day. A secure gated garage in Bromley is 0.3 miles away at £75 a month, making it better suited to a regular commuter who needs longer-term storage than a daily booking. Parksy also lists 24/7 parking at Sainsbury’s Bromley, BR1, 0.5 miles away at £6 an hour, and Stashbee parking in Bromley, South London, 0.6 miles away at £72 a month.

On-Street Parking on Station Road, Shortlands

The charge is 80p per hour, rising to £3.80 for over four hours, and payment is available through RingGo on 020 3046 (bromley.gov.uk). This gives drivers a council-managed alternative to the station car park, particularly when a short visit does not justify a full-day station tariff.

Station Road parking is therefore charged rather than being an unrestricted free option. The council’s listing identifies the location as on-street car parking and sets the published hourly and over-four-hour charges (bromley.gov.uk). Drivers using the street should match their stay to the applicable paid period, while commuters leaving a car for a full working day may find a Parksy booking or the APCOA weekly option more suitable.
