Parking on Vallum Way, NE4
My daughter was visiting from Norway and was going to St James Park with our Land Rover. I was worried about the parking as this was the last match of the season and she isn't used to driving a big car on th left hand side of the road. But there was no need to worry. Arthur was extremely helpful and the space was easy to find. And Newcastle Utd won, so we all were very happy!

Parking on Victoria Street, NE4
Excellent, plenty of room. Easy to find if you look on Google maps first and enter off Westmorland road. 10-15 minute walk up to St James park. Would definitely use again.

Parking on Ord Street, NE4
Perfect parking for the Utilita Arena and easy to pre-book via 'Your Parking Space' although it was mentioned on arrival that parking can sometimes be overbooked, we didn't have this issue so not sure what occurs if that does happen. Easy get out when leaving the car park after the concert too. All round a good experience and would highly recommend.
