Secure Pay-and-Display Parking for Residential & Retail
P7 Parking Lot is a gated, surface-level facility serving the Reading West residential and commercial areas. The lot offers 80 marked bays, including five accessible spaces located adjacent to the pedestrian entry gate. Operating 7 am–9 pm daily, parking is pay-and-display with machines accepting coins, contactless cards, and mobile payments. The site is monitored by CCTV cameras during operating hours and features LED floodlighting to ensure safe access after dark. Permitted residents may obtain discounted season parking permits, while casual users pay the standard hourly and capped daily tariffs. A clearly marked pedestrian walkway leads directly to the retail parade on Bramley Road within a two-minute walk. Bus stops on Tilehurst Road provide frequent services into Reading town center and to Oxford Road Station. Although no EV charging is provided on-site, a rapid charger can be found at the nearby Car Park 1 a five-minute drive away. A covered bicycle shelter accommodating eight bicycles is available to encourage cycle commuting.
