Station Parking at London Waterloo East Railway Station
London Waterloo East railway station has no station car park. National Rail lists “No parking spaces” and “No accessible parking spaces” for the station (nationalrail.co.uk). The station address is Sandell Street, Waterloo, Greater London, SE1 8SW, placing the railway entrance in Waterloo near Southwark.
The station does have a drop-off and pick-up point, according to National Rail (nationalrail.co.uk). Access from Sandell Street is step-only onto the overbridge connection between Waterloo East and Waterloo main stations (lumo.co.uk), so drivers dropping off passengers should allow for the pedestrian route between the two stations.
Commuter Parking Choices for the Waterloo East Journey
Commuters cannot rely on a station-owned parking facility for a daily drive to London Waterloo East railway station because National Rail records no parking spaces at the station (nationalrail.co.uk). The practical arrangement is to use a separate parking space away from the railway entrance, then continue the journey on foot or by public transport.
Waterloo main station has an APCOA car park with Monday to Sunday charges of £9.20 for up to 1 hour, £11.20 for up to 2 hours, £20.50 for up to 6 hours, £26 for up to 12 hours and £30 for up to 24 hours (apcoa.co.uk). Those rates are for London Waterloo station rather than the Waterloo East station entrance, so they are most relevant to commuters prepared to park at the main station and walk across.
