Car Parking

Car parking charges apply to visitors at:

• Tolworth Hospital

Pay and Display machines are available and the charges are listed below:

• £3 up to 2 hours

Parking spaces are limited at Springfield Hospital and as such we encourage travel using public transport or other means if possible, cars should be used as a last resort.  However visitors accessing our services are entitled to a concession if they are unable to use public transport the minimum charge of £3 always applies.  Please contact the department you are visiting to access the concession rate.

It may be more cost effective for staff to apply for a staff permit, a criteria needs to be met to qualify for a staff permit.  Permits can be applied for if you live more than 5 miles from your site base or you use your vehicle for work purposes.

There are two types of staff permits:

• Red Permit allows you to pay by salary deduction at the discounted staff rate of £20 per month or £12 per month if working 0.60wte or less.
• Blue permit allows you to pay at the pay and display machines at the reduced rate of £20/month or a daily charge of £3 the minimum charge.  Press the + button on the pay and display to reach the required payment amount first payment being the £3 minimum charge and subsequently increasing to £5/£10/£20 for staff monthly rate.  Staff can purchase up to 6 months in advance on one transaction by continuing to press the + button.  Cash & credit / debit cards are accepted. 

A valid parking permit and the issued parking ticket must be clearly displayed in your vehicle.
