Help please - local knowledge of parking for Wood Lane

The car park at Westfield London is recommended for parking for the BBC TV studios in Wood Lane, but I need help with the best place to park with the shortest walk.
I will be with someone on crutches.

Can anyone help please with where to head for in the car park, with the shortest walk to Wood Lane?
Thank you

What timings are you going to be there? The Westfield offers use of mobility scooters free of charge to customers, which includes outside spaces near the television centre, if you'll be there during opening hours. Then you can park by the Valet parking (follow signs) I believe in car park 3 if that helps.

If not, park in the main car park near where the John Lewis parking is. That's probably the closest exit for you!

If you are going to the Studios I believe they have a small amount of disabled parking. Might be worth giving them a call? Even if they can’t make this available they will be able to answer your question about which Westfield car park you should use. I worked from there a few years ago but as I’m not a driver I don’t know about the parking but colleagues with mobility issues did have parking passes which is why I think it’s a thing.

**car park C.

I'd probably call and check they're happy for you to use a scooter for this purpose, but we've been told before we can use in the outdoor spaces around Westfield.

Also if your friend has a blue badge flag it at guest services as they'll reduce the parking fee by a few hours -helpful as it's pricey there!

I am not familiar with London at all - but why not load up Google street maps and have a virtual tour of the area before you go

Hi. Thank you for your help. My sister’s mobility issue is short term, broken foot after a fall, so not disabled etc. Don’t think she would be happy using a scooter 🛵 to be hones, but thanks for the suggestion.
Just looking for the shortest walking route out of Westfield for her. Going to be there from 2pm to 930 pm approximately.
Looks like the JL car park is going to be our best bet.

Thanks again.

@MoneyAndPercentages the JL car park was perfect - thanks again.
