Waterfront parking with accessible bays, pay-and-display, and direct access to the SS Great Britain museum.
SS Great Britain Car Park is a public facility operated by Bristol City Council, serving visitors to the SS Great Britain museum and adjoining dockyard. The surface lot offers 100 sealed tarmac bays, including five accessible spaces located closest to the museum entrance walkway. Pay-and-display machines accept coins, contactless cards, and pay-by-phone; tariffs are £2 per hour with a four-hour maximum stay, and a daily cap of £8 applies thereafter. High-intensity LED lampposts illuminate all aisles from dusk until 10 pm, and a network of four CCTV cameras monitors entry, exit, and pedestrian routes for security. Covered information boards at the entrance display museum opening hours, tide schedules, and local attraction maps. Seasonal maintenance includes line repainting quarterly, pothole repairs as needed, and weekly litter collection. Pedestrian pathways link directly to Spike Island and the M Shed museum within a two-minute walk.
