Lily Allen UK Tour 2026: Where to Park at Every Venue

Lily Allen Returns to the UK

Lily Allen brings the biggest headline tour of her career to UK arenas in June 2026, performing her acclaimed comeback album West End Girl in full across eight cities. Following an instantly sold-out theatre run in March, the arena leg adds nine UK dates — including back-to-back nights in Manchester — before crossing to Dublin.

In this guide, we'll walk you through the best ways to park at each venue on the UK leg, plus public transport alternatives and a tip for locals looking to make some extra income on event nights.

Lily Allen at Utilita Arena, Newcastle (Tue 16 June)

Utilita Arena sits on the banks of the River Tyne on the western edge of Newcastle city centre, a short walk west of the Quayside and around 10 minutes from Newcastle Central Station.

On-site parking is limited and sells out quickly on event nights, so pre-booking Utilita Arena Parking in Newcastle is the most reliable way to lock in a space close to the venue.

JustPark gives you access to private driveways and off-street spaces within easy walking distance of the arena, often at lower prices than the official car parks — spaces around Newcastle Central, Forth Street, and the wider Quayside area tend to be the best-located options.

For public transport, Newcastle Central is around a 10-minute walk to the arena and is served by direct trains from across the UK. The Tyne and Wear Metro stops at Central Station and St James, both within walking distance.

Parking at OVO Hydro, Glasgow (Wed 17 June)

The OVO Hydro is part of the SEC campus on the banks of the Clyde, with on-site parking that fills up quickly for sold-out shows. Surrounding streets in Finnieston and Yorkhill are subject to event-day restrictions, so pre-booking OVO Hydro, Glasgow parking is the safest option.

JustPark spaces in Finnieston, Anderston and the wider west end of the city give you a short walk to the venue without paying premium on-site rates — and parking slightly further out can also make your exit considerably faster once the show wraps.

Exhibition Centre railway station is right next to the venue and connects directly to Glasgow Central. The Clydeside walkway is also a pleasant route in from the city centre on a summer evening.

Lily Allen at AO Arena, Manchester (Fri 19 & Sat 20 June)

The AO Arena is built directly over Manchester Victoria station in the heart of the city. It's one of the busiest arenas in Europe, and with two back-to-back Lily Allen nights, demand for nearby parking will be exceptional. There's no dedicated public car park at the arena itself, but you can book AO Arena Manchester parking with JustPark — including options around the Northern Quarter, Ancoats, and Salford. Pre-booking is the easiest way to skip the city-centre price hikes.

Manchester Victoria is literally underneath the arena. Piccadilly station is around a 10-minute walk. Metrolink trams stop at Victoria and Shudehill, both seconds from the entrance.

Parking at First Direct Bank Arena, Leeds (Sun 21 June)

The First Direct Bank Arena sits just north of Leeds city centre, around a 15-minute uphill walk from Leeds City Station. Spaces close to the arena get snapped up early for big shows, so pre-booking parking at First Direct Bank Arena, Leeds is the surest way to avoid the post-show scramble.

You'll find spaces across Leeds city centre, the university area, and quieter streets in Woodhouse and Little London — all within a manageable walk of the venue. Parking slightly further out and walking in tends to make the journey home smoother once 13,000 fans spill onto the same streets.

Leeds City Station serves trains from across the UK and is a short walk from the arena. First Leeds buses run frequently from the city centre, and taxi ranks operate at both the station and the arena.

Lily Allen at Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham (Tue 23 June)

The Motorpoint Arena is tucked into Nottingham city centre next to the National Ice Centre, a few minutes' walk from Nottingham railway station. The surrounding streets fall under city-centre parking restrictions, so on-street options are limited and actively enforced.

Pre-booking Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham with JustPark is the easiest way to lock in a space — the Lace Market, Sneinton and the area around Nottingham station tend to offer the best combination of price and proximity, and reserving in advance removes any worry about finding somewhere on the night.

Nottingham railway station is around a 10-minute walk. NET trams stop at Lace Market, also a short walk away. Nottingham city bus services connect from across the wider area.

Parking at Utilita Arena, Cardiff (Wed 24 June)

Cardiff's Utilita Arena (the venue on Mary Ann Street, formerly the Cardiff International Arena / Motorpoint Arena Cardiff) sits in the heart of the city centre, a few minutes from Cardiff Central station.

Pre-booking Utilita Arena, Cardiff parking with JustPark is the easiest way to secure something close on a sold-out night — you'll find driveways and off-street spaces across the city centre, Cathays and Roath, with prices typically well below the city-centre multi-storeys.

Cardiff Central is around a 10-minute walk to the arena and serves direct trains from across South Wales and beyond. Cardiff Queen Street is also nearby. Cardiff Bus services run frequently across the city.

Lily Allen at bp pulse LIVE, Birmingham (Fri 26 June)

You can pre-book bp pulse LIVE, Birmingham parking with JustPark to find private driveways and off-site spaces in Marston Green, Solihull and Bickenhill that are typically cheaper and just as well-connected. Booking in advance saves up to £5 over on-the-day rates at the NEC.

Birmingham International station is a short walk via the covered Air-Rail Link from the airport side, and trains from Birmingham New Street take around 10 minutes. The venue is just off the M42, J6.

Parking at The O2 Arena, London (Sat 27 June)

The O2 sits on the Greenwich Peninsula in south-east London, and JustPark is the official parking partner for the venue — meaning you can pre-book into The O2's own car parks directly through the platform and save up to 30% (or up to 20% extra when booking three or more weeks in advance).

With 135+ upcoming events on the calendar including Lily Allen on Saturday 27 June, official spaces sell out fast and prices climb close to event date, so pre-booking O2 Arena parking with JustPark is essential if you're driving.

Beyond the official car parks, JustPark also lists private driveways and off-street spaces across Greenwich, Charlton, Blackheath and the wider south-east London area — many offering a quick onward connection by Tube, DLR or Thames Clipper to avoid the worst of the post-show traffic around the peninsula.

North Greenwich (Jubilee line) is literally next to the venue. The Elizabeth line at Custom House connects via the IFS Cloud Cable Car. Thames Clippers also run from across central London directly to The O2 pier.
