Where to Park for Battersea Park Fireworks
Everything you need to know about tickets, travel and parking for London's biggest bonfire night spectacular.
Battersea Park Fireworks 2026
London's biggest bonfire night display is back, and with around 100,000 people expected across two nights, parking anywhere near SW11 4NJ won't wait for latecomers. If you're driving to Battersea Park for the fireworks, book your space before the rest of South London has the same idea.
Where Should I Park for Battersea Park Fireworks?
Book your Battersea Park Fireworks parking
Roads and pavements right around the park get busy fast on both nights, so having a space booked before you set off makes for a far less stressful evening.
Pre-book a driveway or off-street space with JustPark rather than circling SW11 on the night — private spaces near the park go quickly once the event sells out
Arrive early and park up well before the happy hour slot starts, especially on Saturday when the display runs later
Check your vehicle before you travel — Battersea sits inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ, £12.50, charged 24/7), though it's outside the Congestion Charge zone, so no separate congestion charge applies here
When Is Battersea Park Fireworks This Year?
Wandsworth Council's official display returns to Battersea Park for two nights, with a different line-up each evening.
Dates: Saturday 7 – Sunday 8 November 2026
Location: Battersea Park, London SW11 4NJ
Saturday 7 November: Happy hour from 6–7pm (half-price fairground rides, £5 drinks), Rudimental DJ and Conjunto Sabroso from 7.30pm, fireworks at 8.30pm, then a Disco Ceilidh afterparty
Sunday 8 November: Happy hour from 4.30–5.30pm, Arcadia's Lords of Lightning and Fearlessly Taylor from 5.45pm, fireworks at 7pm, then a Pop Anthems afterparty
Tickets go on sale via the official Battersea Park Fireworks website, and the event has sold out for four years running — so it's worth booking both your ticket and your parking well ahead of the night.
Getting to Battersea Park
Battersea Park sits on the south bank of the Thames between Albert Bridge and Chelsea Bridge, with road access via Albert Bridge Road, Queenstown Road and Queenstown Circus.
By train: Battersea Park and Queenstown Road are the closest National Rail stations, both around a 10-minute walk from the park
By tube: Battersea Power Station is the nearest Underground station on the Northern line; Sloane Square, Victoria and Pimlico are also within reach
By bus: Several routes stop close to the park, including the 44, 137 and 452
Top Tips for Battersea Park Fireworks Visitors
Book your ticket and your parking separately — one doesn't guarantee the other, and both sell out
Wrap up warm — a November evening by the Thames gets cold fast, especially waiting for an 8.30pm display
Leave time to walk — most nearby JustPark spaces are a 5–10 minute walk from the gates
Plan your route home — local roads are busiest in the 30 minutes right after the fireworks end, so a short walk to your car can beat sitting in traffic outside the gates
Live Near Battersea Park? Turn Your Driveway Into Income
With around 100,000 people heading to Battersea Park across the two nights, demand for parking close to the gates goes well beyond what the street can handle — which is exactly when a spare driveway or off-street space earns the most.
List your space for free — it takes less than 10 minutes to set up on JustPark, and you only pay when you earn
Set event pricing for peak nights — hosts near stadiums and major events often earn up to 57% more by charging more on the busiest dates, like fireworks weekend
Keep full control — block out dates, pause your listing anytime, and only rent out the space when it suits you
Earn tax-free — the first £1,000 you make is tax-free under the UK's Trading Allowance
Rent out your driveway and put your space to work for fireworks weekend — and every event after it.
Make the Most of Battersea Park Fireworks
With live music, fairground rides and one of the biggest fireworks displays in the capital, Battersea Park Fireworks is worth the trip from anywhere in London. Sort your parking now, and the only thing left to plan is where to stand for the best view.
