Additional Information

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

On-street parking
Due to the historic layout and influx of traffic in the city centre, most on-street parking in Winchester is limited to pay-and-display spaces. There are quite a good number of spaces available throughout the city, but they will almost always enforce a maximum stay of just 1 hour – so it is perhaps not a suitable option for most. Parking restrictions typically apply from 8am-6pm, Monday-Saturday, with some exceptions which will be highlighted on local signage.

You can use find information on available on-street parking spaces in Winchester using the JustPark parking map.
This information may change, please check all signage before parking.

There is a good selection of off-street car parks throughout Winchester, with the most convenient generally being council-operated. One such car park is Colebrook Street car park (SO23 9LH) which offers quite a reasonable short stay fare. This location is open 24 hours a day, Monday-Sunday, and provides the best access for visitors to Winchester Cathedral. The car park’s only drawback is that there are often limited spaces as the car park is relatively small. Parking charges only apply from 8am-6pm each day.

Tower Street car park (SO23 8TA) is another council-operated off-street car park located at the opposite side of the city centre. This car park is much larger and still provides great access to the central areas of Winchester – also opening 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and charging the exact same rates as the above car park. Parking charges also only apply from 8am-6pm each day.

Winchester City Council also provide 4 park and ride sites: two located to the southeast, one to the south, and one to the west of the city centre. Only a small fare – which covers both daily parking and bus travel – is needed, so this is a cheap option worth considering on any visit.

JustPark offers a choice of reservable off-street parking in Winchester – in both council and commercially-run car parks, as well as at hotels, offices and on private driveways. You can browse these options and book a guaranteed space via our website or app.
