London Bridge Station Parking: Where Commuters Should Park and How to Pay Less
Your guide to parking for a London Bridge commute without paying over the odds.
London Bridge Parking for Your Commute
London Bridge is one of London's busiest commuter stations, but parking next to it is hard work. It sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, on-street bays are scarce and tightly controlled, and the closest car parks charge central London prices, which adds up fast if you're doing it every week.
Whether you drive in for office days, head to a client meeting, park at your local station and take the train in, or you're visiting Borough Market or The Shard, booking ahead means you'll have a dedicated space waiting and know exactly what it costs before you set off.
Book Your London Bridge Commuter Parking
Book parking near London Bridge station in advance, with car parks and private spaces from £21.80 a day.
Set up a Monthly Plan from £143.90 a month if you drive in regularly, choosing the days you're in the office at one fixed price.
Reserve a space by the hour for business meetings, so a client visit doesn't start with a search for somewhere to park.
Park just east of Tower Bridge Road to stay outside the Congestion Charge zone and walk to the station in around 10 minutes.
Manage it all in the app, from directions to your space to extending your booking if the day runs late.

Commuting into London Bridge by Train? Park at Your Local Station
For most commuters, the easiest way to reach London Bridge is to drive to their local station and let the train do the rest. You avoid the Congestion Charge, skip central London traffic and pay a fraction of the price to park. These stations all have direct trains to London Bridge, and you can book parking near each one in advance.
Park near St Albans station and take Thameslink direct to London Bridge.
Book parking near Elstree & Borehamwood for a direct Thameslink service into London Bridge.
Find parking near Luton station and take Thameslink straight through to London Bridge.
Reserve a space near Redhill station for direct trains to London Bridge from Surrey.
Park near Sevenoaks station and take Southeastern direct to London Bridge from Kent.
If you commute three or more days a week, a Monthly Plan at your local station usually works out cheaper than paying day by day.
Driving to Work at London Bridge? How to Keep the Cost Down
If you drive all the way to an office near London Bridge, Borough or More London, the Congestion Charge alone costs £18 a day. Over a five-day week that's £90, or around £390 a month, before you've paid for parking.
Park outside the zone and walk in. The Circle car park and Q-Park Tower Bridge, both listed below, sit outside the Congestion Charge zone around a 10-minute walk from London Bridge station. That's £18 a day you don't pay.
Park further out and take the Tube. Book parking near Stanmore and take the Jubilee line straight to London Bridge in around 40 minutes, or park near Morden and take the Northern line (Bank branch) direct in around 30 minutes.
Switch to a Monthly Plan. Plans cover 3, 5 or 7 days a week, at a fixed price for one, three or six months, so hybrid workers only pay for office days.
Where to Park Near London Bridge with JustPark
These car parks can all be booked through JustPark, so you can pick the right one for where you're heading.
Reserve a space at The Circle car park on Queen Elizabeth Street, outside the Congestion Charge zone, around a 10-minute walk from London Bridge station and 4 minutes from Tower Bridge. It's an underground car park, open 24/7 with CCTV, and you can come and go as often as you like during your booking. There's a 1.9m height restriction and access on foot is by stairs only.
Book Q-Park Tower Bridge, also outside the Congestion Charge zone and a short walk from London Bridge, The Shard and Tower Bridge. It's open 24/7 with a 1.95m height restriction. Bookings here can't be extended, so book for the full time you need.
Reserve the ibis Styles Southwark car park for Borough Market and the South Bank. It's inside the Congestion Charge zone, but handy for a weekend visit or an overnight stay, with 24/7 access and CCTV. The car park entrance is on Thrale Street, just off Southwark Street.
Is London Bridge in the Congestion Charge Zone?
Yes. London Bridge station, Borough Market, The Shard and Guy's Hospital are all inside the Congestion Charge zone. The zone's eastern boundary here is Tower Bridge Road: driving along it, or across Tower Bridge itself, isn't charged, but turning west towards the station takes you into the zone.
If you drive into the zone, here's what applies:
Congestion Charge: £18 a day, from 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday and from 12pm to 6pm on Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays. There's no charge between Christmas Day and the New Year's Day bank holiday. Electric cars registered with TfL Auto Pay pay a discounted £13.50.
ULEZ: London Bridge is inside the London-wide Ultra Low Emission Zone, so non-compliant vehicles pay £12.50 a day, every day except Christmas Day, whether or not they enter the Congestion Charge zone.
Booking a space east of Tower Bridge Road means you can reach London Bridge without paying the Congestion Charge at all. If you're unsure whether an address is inside the zone, TfL's online postcode checker will tell you before you travel.
