## Balham Metro Station Car Park and Access

There is no station car park at Balham Metro Station. National Rail records no parking spaces and no accessible parking spaces at Balham station (nationalrail.co.uk). The underground station also does not have its own car park, although an on-street Blue Badge bay is available (accessable.co.uk).

The station is at 163-165 Balham High Road in Balham, near Wandsworth Common. The TfL stop is listed on Balham High Road, London SW12 9BW (tfl.gov.uk). Drivers using the station for rail or Underground journeys therefore need to arrange a separate space or use controlled street parking rather than expecting a station-operated facility.

## Balham High Road Parking Controls

[Wandsworth Council](https://www.parksy.com/blog/appeal-wandsworth-parking-fine) provides a street-by-street map for parking zones and controls, including searches for Balham Hill (wandsworth.gov.uk). The council lists control hours of 9.30am to 5.30pm for the relevant parking-zone information (wandsworth.gov.uk).

The listed pay-and-display cost is £3.70 an hour, with a maximum stay shown by the council (wandsworth.gov.uk). Controls and restrictions are tied to individual streets, so a space near the station can have different conditions from another space around Balham High Road or Balham Hill. The underground station has an on-street Blue Badge bay, while its own car park is not available (accessable.co.uk).
