We'd advise you not to drive as there is no public parking available. If you do need to drive, there is a multi-storey car park close to the Centre on West Smithfield, which is run by the City of London.

Maggie’s Barts is situated within the congestion charging zone, so all patients and visitors who drive to the centre are required to pay the charge. There are some exemptions and discounts, which include:

• those with disabilities who hold a blue badge
• residents living within the congestion charging zone
• drivers of alternative fuel vehicles

A full list of categories of drivers/vehicles eligible for exemptions and details of how to pay the charge can be found on the Transport for London congestion charging website. To qualify for an exemption or discount you must register with Transport for London.
