Riverside pay-and-display parking for Stratford attractions
Stratford Paid Car Park is a council-run surface facility situated along the riverbank, providing 80 marked bays including six disabled spaces adjacent to the pedestrian path. Operating hours are 7 am8 pm daily; pay-and-display machines accept coins, contactless, and RingGo payments; no overnight parking permitted. The gravel-and-asphalt surface is graded for drainage, with quarterly inspections and patch repairs within 72 hours. LED bollard lighting ensures minimal illumination for early-morning anglers and evening strollers, and one CCTV camera monitors entry, exit, and pedestrian areas. Pedestrian paths lead to Bancroft Gardens (1 minute) and to the Royal Shakespeare Company theatres (5 minutes). No EV charging is available; the closest public charger is at Stratford Marina Car Park, a 10-minute walk away. Weekly litter clearance and hedge trimming maintain a clean environment.
