Norwich Parking

Information about Parking in Norwich

Choose your Norwich parking space from our range of options. For stress-free parking, just park with us.

From the Middle Ages until the Industrial Revolution, Norwich was the largest city in England after London. Nowadays, it is a popular tourist destination and one of the UK’s top ten shopping spots. Visitors are drawn by the annual Norfolk and Norwich Arts Festival and by the city’s wealth of historical architecture.

With so much to see and do, it’s no wonder that parking in Norwich is in high demand. There are several Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) across the city, especially in areas with a high demand for on-street parking, including the city centre and areas near the University of East Anglia and the City College. In CPZs, there is no unrestricted parking: each space is designated for a particular purpose. The restrictions and charges differ across the city depending on the requirements of the locality, and spots can be hard to find. Although there is also the option of an off-street or multi-storey car park in Norwich, these tend to be quite pricey.

Parking in Central Norwich

Norwich city centre parking can be especially challenging because all on-street parking within the city centre is restricted and chargeable.

Charges for on-street parking in Norwich city centre are payable by cash at the Pay and Display machines. Prices are:

  • Band A: £2.50 per hour
  • Band B: £1.70 per hour

To know which band a space is in, and to find out which restrictions are in operation, be sure to check the Pay and Display machines and street signs.

Norwich Airport

Norwich Airport doesn’t have its own train station, so parking spaces nearby are in particularly high demand. Book in advance with YourParkingSpace to ensure your cheap, convenient parking space is waiting for you when you arrive at the airport.

Nearby Attractions

Norwich is a great city in which to spend a long weekend. It is the most complete medieval city in the UK, with old cobbled streets, and more medieval churches still standing than in any other city north of the Alps. The Adam and Eve pub is believed to be the oldest pub in the city, and it is well worth a visit.

If you’re planning a city break to Norwich, make sure you don’t leave the following popular tourist spots off your itinerary:

  • Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery
  • Norwich Cathedral
  • Plantation Garden
  • The Forum

 

However, Norwich is not just about the urban landscape. It is the only English city that is actually inside a National Park. The Broads National Park is a network of navigable rivers and lakes. It is a beloved boating holiday destination, and there are plenty of boat rental companies to choose from in Norwich and the surrounding area.

Search, book and park with YourParkingSpace to reserve fantastic Norwich parking within walking distance of all your favourite attractions.

Public Transport

Car

Norwich is around three hours’ drive from central London and has easy road links to the rest of England. From the North, the A47 takes you straight into the town centre, and if you’re coming from the direction of Ipswich, take the A140.

When you arrive, you can choose between the excellent Park and Ride services, a car park in Norwich, or pre-booking a convenient space with YourParkingSpace.

Train

The direct rail service from Cambridge to Norwich takes a little more than one hour, and there are connections via Peterborough to the Midlands, to the North of England, and to Scotland. If you’re coming from London, trains to Norwich leave London Liverpool Street Station every 30 minutes and take just under two hours.

Norwich has plenty of places to charge your electric vehicle, with charge points at handy central locations including near Norwich Castle, Norwich Cathedral and Norwich Station.

  • On-street designated disabled parking bays
  • Single or double yellow lines

There is also free parking for Blue Badge holders at some car parks in Norwich, while other Norwich car parks run a ‘buy one hour get one hour free’ scheme.

However, Blue Badge holders may not park in pedestrian zones, and vehicles left in pedestrian zones could receive a Penalty Charge Notice - so make sure you’re not caught out!

Q&As

Is parking free on Saturdays in Norwich?

Parking is very tightly controlled in Norwich and most Controlled Parking Zones outside the city centre have Pay and Display meters operating until 6:30pm, even on Saturdays. City centre parking restrictions operate 24 hours a day.

Is parking free on Sundays in Norwich?

Some streets outside the city centre have unrestricted parking on Sundays. Finding free Norwich city centre parking on Sundays is more difficult, though, because inside the city centre, the Controlled Parking Zone operates every day of the week - even on Sundays.

Is there free parking after 6pm in Norwich?

If you don’t mind going a bit further outside the city centre, there is some on-street car parking in the Norwich suburbs on which restrictions are lifted at 6.30pm. The city centre Controlled Parking Zone, on the other hand, operates 24 hours a day.

Is it difficult to find a parking space in Norwich?

Finding on-street car parking in Norwich town centre can be a challenge. However, there are several off-street car parks around the city, including at the shopping centres and retail parks, and Norwich is also served by five Park and Ride schemes.

If none of these options quite fit the bill, YourParkingSpace has a great selection of cheap parking in Norwich available to book immediately.

Latest Norwich parking reviews
  • Parking on Sainsburys Queens Road, NR1

    Download the app, pull into car park, enter your details,pay. It was that simple. Adjust your stay time using the app, set it for 24 hours and you’ll have loads of time. The car park is very spacious and the pricing was excellent, £8.25 for 24 hours. All Sainsbury’s ask is that for overnight stays, please do not park near the entrance of the store.

  • Parking at Morrisons on Albion Way, NR1

    Easy access and 5min walk to Train Station. I would definitely book again when needed. Maybe they could mark the places considered ''the rear of the car park'' as it could be confusing and people could park in the wrong area?

    Cristina
  • Parking on Sainsburys Queens Road, NR1

    I would certainly recommend the parking at Sainsburys Queens Road if you are staying at Travelodge Central on Queens Road, Norwich. Very easy to book and park. No issues whatsoever.

  • Parking at Morrisons on Albion Way, NR1

    Very easy for parking and good value. When entering the car park I found plenty of empty spaces to park.

    Sally
  • Parking on Sainsburys Queens Road, NR1

    Great place to park when staying overnight in the city centre. We previously parked at the NCP car park overnight but this was about £5 cheaper for the same amount of hours.

    Nicola
  • Parking on Wensum Sports Centre, NR1

    Many large spaces. Arrival at 1am was a breeze due to 24hr access.

    James
  • Parking at Premier Inn Norwich

    First time we had used 'Your Parking Space' and it really simplified our trip away having first tried to book a different car park. Booking was simple with the site easily navigable and a fair price. The car park was a couple of minutes walk from the station in a safe area. Even though we weren't staying at the hotel, we were welcome to use their toilets. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these spaces and would definitely use in future.
