Yes, there is very very limited on street parking. There's a multi-storey round the corner at the Hallamshire Hospital though, don't know if they limit it to Hallamshire patients and visitors.

I went 2 years ago and You could park at the hallamshire and walk round then

Parking at the Childrens is very very limited, and on street parking not much better. You'd be better parking at the Hallamshire in the multi storey and then walking up - although that can also be very bus and it isn't cheap. Otherwise park at the park and ride and grab a tram - it stops not too far away.

Oh yes. It is next to impossible.

If you park in the multi storey car park next door, at the hallamshire, I don't think there's a way for them to know you're not going to an appt there.

Although it is also really busy and you might find yourself going round and round and bloody round! Grin so make sure you get there really early.

Depends on which way you are coming into the city re trams.

Parking awful - as already said park at the Hallamshire hospital then walk ( less than 10 min walk). A lot of the side streets are residents only. There's the odd street that you might chance lucky and be able to park on one of these streets but it's not worth driving in circles when you have an appointment.

We visit the hospital frequently. It's great with the kids.

Thanks everyone, found the hospital easily and headed straight for the mulitstory and got parked ok.
