Parking at St Leonards (Edinburgh) Railway Station
St Leonards (Edinburgh) railway station is at 19 St Leonard's Lane in Southside, near Holyrood. The search information identifies parking at nearby Edinburgh Waverley rather than a station car park at St Leonards, so drivers should treat the station as a walking-access rail stop rather than expect an on-site facility.
Edinburgh Waverley’s long-stay car park is operated by APCOA and has 537 spaces, with pricing shown from £5 to £25 (APCOA). Its station access is a separate option from parking beside St Leonards, so it is more relevant when Waverley is the practical departure point.

Edinburgh City Council lists St Leonard's at £4.60 per hour from Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5.30pm (City of Edinburgh Council). Those controls make unrestricted weekday station-side parking unsuitable for a regular commuter unless the vehicle is covered by the relevant permit arrangements.
