Additional Information
Some additional information about parking in leeds station, to cater to all your parking needs
On-street parking
There are quite a lot of on-street parking spaces throughout Leeds – albeit largely limited to pay-and-display. However, near to the station, there is quite a lack of on-street spaces due to its location – isolated between the river and some very busy roads leading in and out of the city. The nearest on-street parking is located near Leeds Bridge, to the southeast of the station. On-street parking charges apply from 8am-10pm, Monday-Saturday – but with a flat evening rate from 6pm-10pm, and reduced rates on Sunday from 10am-6pm.
You can use the JustPark parking map to find information on available on-street parking spaces near Leeds station.
Off-street parking
Leeds is well served by on-site off-street parking options – with a Short Stay, Long Stay and Multi-storey car park all located to the rear of the station, off Princes Square (LS1 4HT). The car parks, operated by APCOA Parking, are open 24/7 and generally offer a reasonable rate. The Short Stay option is affordable only if you stay for less than 20 minutes, after which the prices increase exponentially. Meanwhile, the Long Stay car park located just down the road has many spaces and offers quite a reasonable daily and nightly rate.
JustPark offers a range of reservable parking options near Leeds station – in both council and commercially-run car parks, as well as at hotels, offices and on private driveways. You can browse this selection and book a guaranteed space via our website or app.

Disabled parking
Disabled drivers may require station assistance if they were to park in any of Leeds station’s on-site car parks, as there is inadequate facilities and a reasonable distance to navigate between the spaces and the station.
Blue Badge holders can park free of charge for an unlimited period of time in any of Leeds’ on-street pay-and-display spaces. Disabled drivers are also able to park on single or double yellow lines for up to 3 hours with a Blue Badge, unless there are signs that state otherwise.

Parking restrictions & event days

On the JustPark map, we’ll only show you spaces which you’re allowed to park in and are not restricted when you search.
Overnight, weekends & bank holidays
Standard charges apply for on-street pay-and-display spaces on all Bank Holidays, but a reduced charge operates on Sundays from 10am-6pm.
You can park overnight in the Long Stay or multi-storey car parks on-site at Leeds Station at a reasonable price – and these provide probably the most convenient access.

Drop-off and pick-up
The official drop-off and pick-up point is located to the rear of the station on Princes Square, just off Aire Street. Be aware that there is limited room for unloading here and just one narrow roundabout that cars tend to be slow in navigating around – therefore, queues and congestion are commonplace at busy times.
