Everything you need to park near the London Palladium for Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders in Cinderella.
Parking Near the London Palladium for Cinderella 2026/27
Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders and Julian Clary are bringing Cinderella to Argyll Street, and the Soho streets around it are about to get very busy. Cinderella runs from Saturday 5 December 2026 to Sunday 10 January 2027, so the smart move is to lock in your space now and walk in to the curtain-up without a single lap of the block.
Cinderella has been a landmark show for the Palladium: it relaunched the theatre's modern panto tradition in 2016, and this run marks the tradition's 11th year. This time, the Ugly Sisters are played by two comedy legends reuniting on the West End stage for the first time in 17 years.

Book London Palladium Parking for Cinderella
Book your parking near the London Palladium and arrive knowing exactly where you're leaving the car, instead of circling Soho's one-way streets at curtain-up.
Choose the price point that suits your night from a mix of secure car parks and private spaces in the streets around Oxford Circus and Soho.
Know the cost before you set off. Pre-booking means no surprise on-the-day rates, and you can compare options side by side.
Extend from your phone at spaces that allow it, so a late finish, a long interval queue or a post-show drink doesn't mean a rushed dash back to the car.
Park where you want to be. Search by postcode or landmark and filter for features such as EV charging, accessible parking and overnight stays.
How to Get to the London Palladium by Car
Drivers heading for Cinderella will be coming into the heart of the West End, so it pays to plan the last mile before you leave home.
Aim for Oxford Circus. The Palladium is just off Regent Street, a couple of minutes' walk from Oxford Circus. Set your sat nav to your booked space rather than the theatre door.
Expect busy streets. Regent Street, Great Marlborough Street and the roads around Soho fill up quickly on festive evenings and weekend matinees. Allow extra time, especially in December.
Drop-offs need care. The theatre's level-access door is on the left of the main entrance on Argyll Street. On some productions the road is closed for the get-in, in which case the nearest drop-off point is Great Marlborough Street.
Where to Park Near the London Palladium
Your best options sit within a short walk of Argyll Street. JustPark's Oxford Circus Station page is the closest starting point, and it's the quickest way to find spaces within easy reach of the theatre.
Oxford Circus and Regent Street: The nearest option for the shortest walk to the theatre. Spaces here are in demand around show times, so book ahead.
Soho: Parking in Soho starts from £3 an hour, with daily rates from £12.90. It's a good fit if you want dinner or drinks around the show.
West End: Spreading the search a little wider, West End car parks around Mayfair, Fitzrovia and Marylebone often give you more choice and a short walk in.
Starting prices vary by date, time and demand, so the cheapest slots go first. If you're planning a matinee and dinner, book for the full stretch of the day in one go.
London Parking Charges for Cinderella: Congestion Charge and ULEZ
The Palladium sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so factor these in before you drive:
Congestion Charge: £15 a day, Monday to Friday 7:00 to 18:00, and Saturday, Sunday and bank holidays 12:00 to 18:00. There's no charge between Christmas Day and New Year's Day bank holiday (inclusive), which will matter for anyone seeing Cinderella over the festive break.
ULEZ: £12.50 a day, 24 hours a day, if your vehicle doesn't meet the emissions standard. Check your registration on the TfL website before you travel.
A late-evening show may start after the Congestion Charge window closes, but a matinee arrival usually won't, so check the times for your performance.
Getting from Your Parking Space to the Theatre
Once you've parked up, the Palladium is easy to reach on foot. Oxford Circus (Bakerloo, Central and Victoria lines) is about two minutes' walk away, and Bond Street (Central and Jubilee lines) is around five. Oxford Circus and Regent Street are also served by plenty of bus routes if you're parking a little further out.
