JustPark provides information on lots of parking options near to Kew Gardens station – including on-street and off-street spaces, from driveways to car parks, many of which are reservable for extra convenience.
On-street parking
Kew Gardens station is found within a Controlled Parking Zone of the borough of Richmond, but there are many on-street spaces on offer at a reasonably affordable hourly rate.
The majority of on-street pay-and-display charges only apply from 10am-12 noon, Monday-Friday, so many spaces are free to park a lot of the time. However, lots of spaces are still reserved solely for resident permit holders and/or have maximum stay limits – so do make sure you’re aware of any restrictions governing your chosen space.
