Parking on Lambeth Road, SE1
Great place to park and really cheap for a weekend one negative the ramp in and out is the same one and passing if you are unlucky to meet a car coming the other way is a problem - however this only really knocks about a fifth of a star from it's true five star rating

Parking on Royal National Theatre, SE1
Was well positioned and somewhat well signposted The issue is when you arrive and leave it doesn’t work with your license so you have to call help then take a ticket and then call when you leave and provide the booking reference as not to get charged again This could work better if it was linked to your license or if you could input your code at entry

Parking on Royal National Theatre, SE1
It's a very narrow and awkward car park to drive around - built, I assume, when cars were smaller! But it was a lifesaver for me. I have severe mobility problems, and it meant I could go to a long play (3 hours) in the evening and, for a reasonable price, use my car, rather than having a journey on public transport, including long walks, lots of stairs (as the gate directly into Charing Cross would have been closed), and lots of waiting around. I now tend to go to matinees, but having used this car park, if I want to go at night, I can now do so safely.

All good EXCEPT we could have done with some signage to the carpark itself. We drove straight past it and so did a number of other people. The carpark itself was well maintained and easy to negotiate. Kind regards
