Urgent- parking help at UCL hospital!

[holsfinis]

Toddler DS has just been admitted as an trauma emergency- whereabouts can DH park as following in car, not from London!!

DS all ok now, in a critical care bed but having great cafe here.

Care

Don't forget the ulez charge, depending what car you have. That's 24hrs a day isn't it?

Another vote for the brunswick Centre nr Russell Square for all day reasonable parking. Then walk to uclh. Or, you can park for a longtime at hilton London metropole at Edgware Road which is a v quick tube or bus to the hospital (think it was £5 a day last time i did it)...

Also get in touch with pals and uclh charity, they often have accommodation and reduced rate parking for parents of Little ones in partnership with great Ormond Street in Russell Square.

Hope your DS makes a speedy recovery

Apologies missed the update! Glad he's on the mend :)

I'm glad you got to park, and dc is OK please dond forget to pay the congestion charge. You have until midnight tomorrow to pay it. Your DH may be better to move the car before midnight tonight as you'll need to pay tomorrows congestion charge too. To get to UCLH from Stoke Newington is relatively easy, take the train to Liverpool Street and get the underground to Euston Square (circle/District/metropolitan line) and walk across to the hospital.

@Queenie8 I don't think he actually went into the congestion zone , I did take a look at the map. If anything happens , I can prove a medical emergency with the discharge stuff.

Not the point of thread but ..... an ambulance refused to take a young child who's now in critical care

Massive shout out to that policeman and his wife.

Glad your DC is getting the care he needs but what’s this about an ambulance refusing to take him to a trauma unit?

I know! We were shocked but decided to just take action and get there via car , come what may.

Yes, Brunswick Centre is a good car park and only 10/15 minutes away.

Glad he will be ok and you figured something out. Shocking about the ambulance though!

When things have settled down I would raise this with London Ambulance.

Why wouldn’t the ambulance take him? That’s shocking.
Hope your ds makes a speedy recovery

why not go to the homerton? much nearer and easier to park

Marlybone road is the border down congestion, if he stayed on the Euston side, he won’t have to pay it x

Border for congestion

Royal National Hotel on Bloomsbury Way has a car park and has a daily rate. It's just north of Russell Square.

That’s shocking the ambulance wouldn’t take him. :( poor little one.
