About Waitrose Car Park

Waitrose Car Park serves supermarket customers in Sevenoaks, with parking usually free while you shop but often time-limited. At roughly 200 spaces, the car park has enough capacity to cope with most normal demand. As a multi-storey car park, it provides covered parking across several levels — handy in bad weather, though bays can be tighter than in open lots. This is a paid car park.

When to Visit
