Parking

The Royal South Hants is a city centre-based hospital. Because parking and spaces are in short supply in Southampton, we need to ensure the on-site car parks are limited to use by patients, their visitors and staff.

The hospital has six car parking areas. Due to current constraints on the site, the car parks are subject to change in availability. We aim to keep this site as up to date as possible, and thank you for your patience while we work on the improvements.

Open

Car Park A Overground car park, first accessible car park from Brintons Terrace. Not recommended for disabled access.
Car Park E Overground car park. DISABLED ACCESS ONLY. Blue badge, permit holders or RSH volunteers only. All other vehicles strictly prohibited.
Car Park F Overground car park, nearest to all departments. Not recommended for disabled access. CLOSED 19 JUNE.

Staff Parking

Car Park C Staff-only underground car park located in the basement of the main building. Restricted access.
Car Park D Staff-only overground car park, adjacent to Car Park A. Not recommended for disabled access.

Parking discounts are available for all patients – please visit the Cashier’s Office next to the Information Point at the Main Entrance.

Parking is free for any of the following:

Penalty Charges

Car clamping is in operation on RSH Hospital car park sites.

The clamping measure has been introduced to deter misuse of specially-designated parking areas and ensure the bays are available for those who need them most.

Vehicles parked in any staff-only bays (Car Parks C & D) or disabled-only bays (Car Park E) without a valid pass or permit clearly displayed in their windscreen may be clamped and a release charge will apply.

The clamping measures are operated by an independent company and RSH staff do not have jurisdiction to overturn or quash any clamp applied to a vehicle.
