Where to Park Near Selhurst Park

Parking near Selhurst Park is in short supply, with many local streets operating permit-only restrictions on match days.

Booking a JustPark space in advance gives you a reliable spot and removes the stress of searching for parking around South Norwood.

How to Get to Selhurst Park: Driving and Public Transport

Traffic builds up early around Whitehorse Lane and Holmesdale Road, particularly when supporters arrive from the main routes through Croydon. Many fans travel via Selhurst, Thornton Heath or Norwood Junction stations and walk the short distance to the stadium. Planning your journey in advance makes reaching your parking spot or station connection much easier.

Best Places to Eat and Drink Near Selhurst Park

Local favourites fill up quickly before kick-off, with plenty of places offering classic match day food. Getting there ahead of the rush means you can enjoy the build-up rather than heading straight in.

Matchday Parking Tips for Selhurst Park

Match day parking rules are strictly enforced in the residential streets surrounding the stadium, so it’s important to park in an approved spot.
