Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Folkestone Central Station Car Park on Kingsnorth Gardens The entry is at 10 Kingsnorth Gardens, Lynwood, Folkestone and Hythe District, CT19 5HB, placing the parking directly beside the platforms. [APCOA](https://www.parksy.com/blog/apcoa-parking-united-kingdom-review-pros-cons-summary-services) lists a £5.20 daily rate from Tuesday to Thursday, a £5.70 daily rate, and a £4.30 Sunday rate (apcoa.co.uk). Southeastern lists a £5.20 daily charge, a £20.90 weekly charge and a £76 monthly charge (southeasternrailway.co.uk). A half-year ticket is listed at £438 (apcoa.co.uk). Blue Badge holders park free in any car parking space, according to Southeastern and APCOA (southeasternrailway.co.uk; apcoa.co.uk). ## Street Parking Around the Station in Lynwood The station address is 10 Kingsnorth Gardens, in Lynwood near Folkestone, so Kingsnorth Gardens is the key access street for drivers approaching the railway entrance. The station car park is the clearly documented parking facility at this address, rather than a substitute for parking on the surrounding residential streets. National Rail records 70 station parking spaces and identifies drop-off and pick-up points at the station (nationalrail.co.uk). The same listing records no accessible parking spaces, while APCOA and Southeastern separately confirm [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me) for Blue Badge holders in any car park space (nationalrail.co.uk; apcoa.co.uk; southeasternrailway.co.uk). Drivers using nearby streets need to follow the restrictions and signs applying to each marked bay, rather than treating the station tariff as permission to park on the road. Show map of Folkestone ## Commuter Parking and Tickets at the Station For regular commuters, the station has ticketed options beyond a single daily stay. Southeastern lists a £20.90 weekly charge and a £76 monthly charge, while APCOA lists a £438 half-year ticket (southeasternrailway.co.uk; apcoa.co.uk). Those products are suited to repeated weekday journeys where paying separately each day would be less convenient. APCOA’s booking information lists 68 spaces for the pre-book location and shows a one-week parking code at £20.90 (prebook.apcoa.co.uk; apcoaconnect.com). The APCOA tariff also shows a parking period from 00:00 to 10:00 priced at £5.20 and £5.70, with the parking fee made up of the tariff and a convenience fee (apcoaconnect.com). The separate capacity figures published by National Rail and APCOA relate to their respective station parking information. ## Parksy Spaces Close to the Folkestone Platforms The nearest listed Parksy space is a secure 24/7 parking lot 48 yards away, priced at £4.70 a day. It suits a driver wanting a close alternative to the station facility and needing round-the-clock access. Two parking lots are listed 160 yards away: one costs £2.70 an hour and the other £3 an hour, giving short-stay visitors two nearby hourly choices. A Burstin Hotel space in Folkestone CT19 is 218 yards away and costs £5.60 a day, making it suitable for a full-day station visit. A Baker Road Clinic space is 0.3 miles away at £5.40 an hour, while a Sainsbury’s Folkestone CT20 space is 0.4 miles away at £5.50 an hour. The hourly spaces fit shorter visits, while the priced daily listings are more straightforward for longer stays. ## Walking and Onward Connections From Folkestone Central Folkestone West railway station is the nearest alternative station listed for this area, at 0.7 miles or a 15-minute walk from the station. Folkestone Harbour railway station is another nearby rail connection, at about a 17-minute walk.

Drivers parking in the nearby Parksy spaces can choose between locations measured at 48 yards, 160 yards, 218 yards, 0.3 miles and 0.4 miles from the station, depending on whether closeness, an hourly tariff or a daily tariff matters most. The station’s 24/7 APCOA opening also supports early and late rail journeys (apcoa.co.uk).
