The King George Hospital main car park is operated by automatic number plate recognition (ANPR). This means there are no entrance or exit barriers and you don't collect a paper ticket on entry. Cameras record the registration plate of each entrance and exit.

Before you leave, enter your vehicle registration into the payment machine, which will tell you the amount to be paid. Payment machines are near the Emergency Department, block 6 entrance and at the exit. The machines accept cash and contactless payment.

All machines have clear instructions, parking charges and parking enforcement information. If you leave without paying you will pay a penalty charge.

Blue badge holders

Blue Badge Holders can park for free in the dedicated disabled parking areas by the main entrance and near the Treatment Centre. You must pay to park elsewhere.
