ROYAL BROMPTON HOSPITAL...........OUTPATIENT DEPT........ANY TRAVEL/PARKING TIPS

[RTKangaMummy]

PLEASE DOES ANYONE KNOW MUCH ABOUT CARPARKS ETC????

sorry about caps lock

nope, its central london tho isnt it? might be better getting a train in?

is that the one just off kings road kanga?

Yes it is sort of kensington area

I think Sloane Square is the nearest tube and then a 5-10 minute walk, so public transport might not be the best option. Parking would be very limited there I should think If no-one on mn knows I'd call the hospital to ask how much parking there is

here is the map it is the FULHAM WING

parking at most hospitals is appaling. sometimes i have to go round harefield 5times to get a space, then if idisabled one comes up i use tyhat then take peter out somehwre in the car

I don't like going on trains really prefer to drive

thats not too bad. i'd go by tube and walk it.

But I guess we will have to go by tube

was hoping someone would know of a secret parking area

no such luck. from my vast experience of hoispitals, the car parks are always full on a weekday (am assuming this is for your ds clinic appointment?), and the surround streets are even worse.

Yes on Monday morning and I think it will take several hours for all the tests etc.

urgh, it'll be manic parking wise. just go on the tube, and maybe stop off somewhere nice afterwards?

good luck, hope it all goes well.

Thanks misdee it is with the electrocardiophysiologists so am not really sure what all the tests will be but have been told it will last several hours

Thanks SD and misdee for all the help

You can easily walk to the hospital from South Kensington Station. It took us about 10 minutes to walk there. There is no parking to speak of around there at all and what little there is is primarily permit related for residents.

Come out of South Ken station and take the other exit (not the one marked Museums). You will come to the main road and you'll see a Carluccio's (nice restaurant that) opposite. You want to walk past that restaurant on that side of the road.

Kings Road is only a short distance away from there too and apart from the shops there is a nice department store for children called Daisy and Tom.

The map you posted up is very good and would strongly recommend you take that with you (or a London A to Z).

AttilaTheMeerkat Thanks for the info

I guess that is what we will be doing then it will be too stressful trying to find a parking space and therefore being late

RTKangaMummy,

Wishing you good luck for Monday.

Give my regards to Carluccios!!(if you like Italian food its a good place to eat lunch).

Thanks but we will still be there then i think

aha sorry kanga, I didn't realise it was nearer to south ken tube

I second Carluccio's!
