Parking restrictions & event days
Manchester Piccadilly is located in Zone 4 of Manchester’s Central Controlled Parking Zones. Parking on-street is both expensive and can be very limited around the station, with most of the available on-street parking around the station being located in the higher tariff central Zone 2. Many of the surrounding streets are also very busy and on tram and bus routes, meaning that parking on-street here can often be quite challenging.

On the JustPark map, we’ll only show you spaces which you’re allowed to park in at the times you require.

Drop-off and pick-up
There is a drop off point clearly signposted and easy to access in front of the main entrance to the station. However, due to the station’s location in the city centre, there is a lack of room for loading/unloading – so bare this in mind as it may not be the speediest get away with traffic and congestion a common problem.

However, the Short Stay car park just off Fairfield Street offers free parking for up to 20 minutes, so this could serve as an alternative pick up and drop off point.
