Victoria Station Parking: Where to Park for Your Commute or a Day in London
Your guide to parking near Victoria without paying over the odds.
Victoria Parking for Commuters and Visitors
Victoria is one of London's busiest stations, with trains to Gatwick, Brighton and the South East, Victoria Coach Station next door, and Buckingham Palace and two of the West End's biggest theatres a short walk away. Parking nearby is hard work: the station sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, on-street bays are scarce, and the closest car parks charge central London prices.
Whether you drive in for office days, a client meeting, a coach trip or a show, booking ahead means you'll have a dedicated space waiting and know exactly what it costs before you set off.
Book Your Victoria Parking
Book parking near Victoria station in advance, with car parks and private spaces from £2.70 an hour or £15.70 a day.
Set up a Monthly Plan from £197.80 a month if you drive in regularly, choosing the days you're in the office at one fixed price.
Park just east of Vauxhall Bridge Road in Pimlico, where some spaces are listed as outside the Congestion Charge zone and a short walk from the station.
Reserve a space for a show or day out, close to Buckingham Palace, the Victoria Palace Theatre and the Apollo Victoria.
Manage it all in the app, from directions to your space to extending your booking where the car park allows it.
Commuting into Victoria by Train? Park at Your Local Station
For most commuters, the easiest way to reach Victoria 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.
Reserve a space near Redhill station and take a direct Southern train to Victoria from Surrey.
Park near Sevenoaks station for direct Southeastern services into Victoria from Kent.
Park near your local station on the Brighton Main Line, from Brighton and Haywards Heath to Gatwick Airport and East Croydon, and book your space in advance through JustPark.
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 Victoria? How to Keep the Cost Down
If you drive all the way to an office near Victoria or Westminster, 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 Congestion Charge boundary runs along Vauxhall Bridge Road. Q-Park Pimlico and a gated space on Moreton Street are both listed as outside the zone and a short walk from Victoria station. That's £18 a day you don't pay.
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.
Book meetings by the hour. Reserve a space for just the time you need when you're visiting a client near Victoria or Westminster.
Visiting Buckingham Palace or a West End Show? Parking Near Victoria
Victoria is the nearest major station to Buckingham Palace, and home to two of London's biggest theatres, the Victoria Palace Theatre and the Apollo Victoria. Timing your visit can save you money: the Congestion Charge applies from 7am to 6pm on weekdays and from 12pm to 6pm at weekends, so if you drive in after 6pm for an evening performance, you won't pay it.
For Buckingham Palace, St Peter's Church car park on Eaton Square is around a 12-minute walk, and you can book it in advance.
For the Victoria Palace Theatre and the Apollo Victoria, Eccleston Square and St Peter's are both within walking distance.
For Victoria Coach Station, Eccleston Square is around a 6-minute walk, which suits early departures and late returns.
