About Bloomsbury Square Car Park

If you’re catching a train from London, Bloomsbury Square Car Park provides parking within easy reach of the station. With around 450 spaces, this is a substantial car park that rarely fills completely except during peak events. This is an underground car park, offering fully covered parking below ground level — sheltered from the weather but with limited headroom for taller vehicles. This is a paid car park.

When to Visit

Station car parks fill up early on weekday mornings as commuters arrive for their trains. Spaces can be scarce by 8:30am, so arriving before 7:30am gives you the best chance. Weekends are a completely different story — demand drops off sharply, with Sunday typically the quietest. At this size, finding a space is rarely an issue — though during major events or peak Monday demand, even large car parks can feel the pressure.
