Additional Information

Some additional information about parking in st albans, to cater to all your parking needs

On-street parking
St Albans has 5,524 designated on-street parking spaces for cars and 49 for motorbikes. However, 5,266 of those spaces are for residents with a parking permit, leaving only 258 spaces of which most are for restricted time periods. The conclusion is clear: St Albans does not want you to park on the street, except outside your home.
Off-street parking
There are 18 car parks with a total of 4,580 spaces. The largest are:

Victoria Street 813 spaces

The Maltings 770 spaces

St Albans Train Station 590 spaces

Russell Avenue 537 spaces

Only the car park at the Civic Centre is owned by the city council; the others are operated by National Car Parks (NCP), RCP Parking Ltd., and the owners of the buildings housing them (for example, Marks & Spencer).

Both Bricket Road North and London Road car parks are Park-and-Ride facilities, but Bricket Road North has only 27 spaces and London Road 194, so Park-and-Ride may not be the solution visitors are looking for.
Public transport
Public transport is good, internally and with other locations. The Thameslink service to St Pancras Station in London takes about 20 minutes and provides connections to the rest of the country as well as within the capital. There are bus services to North London, Luton, Welwyn Garden City, Watford and Hatfield and bus routes within the city are plentiful. There are good Community Transport schemes, Dial-a-Ride and transport schemes for the disabled.
Disabled parking
Parking restrictions & event days
As already indicated, parking is not permitted on most of the city’s roads unless you have a permit and, in most cases, this applies seven days a week, though the city is divided into zones (A to G) and the hours of application vary a little from zone to zone. Wherever you are, there will be signs telling you what you can and cannot do. Fines bring the city more than half a million pounds annually, so be careful not to park where you shouldn’t.
Overnight, weekends & bank holidays
Nearby attractions
St Albans Cathedral is the oldest site of continuous Christian worship in Britain.
