Getting to King’s Church

By 1 January 2023July 24th, 2024No Comments

Parking near King’s Centre:

  • Bridge Street Car Park is now the closest car park, but is a “Short Stay” private one that costs a bit more.
  • Desborough Square Car Park, and East Richardson Street Car Park opposite it, are the nearest council car parks, a 2 minute walk away and costing £1 to park on Sundays. 
    • The machines on these sites are not always operational, but RingGo (opt out of texts to avoid fees) or phone payment are accepted. RingGo codes are 1421 for East Richardson St Car Park and 31426 for Des Square Car Park.
  • Eden Centre is also nearby, at these costs, and the far end of the Purple zone, beyond the car park vehicle exit, has the pedestrian exit nearest King’s Centre.
  • Dovecot multi storey, which again costs £1 to park for the day on Sundays, is a 4 minute walk if you walk in/out using the Sainsbury’s main entrance. 
    • Please note that Sainsbury’s have recently adjusted the terms and costs for parking in their own car park. 
  • Street Parking on, and around, Desborough Road is free on Sundays but can be confusing, so please only park in designated bays and double-check permissions and charges.
  • If you’ve not been to us for a couple of years, Desborough Road Car Park, immediately outside the King’s Centre, is now closed.
    • There are two disabled parking bays outside our building, and those attending on Sunday mornings with mobility concerns or transporting those with difficulties can contact the church office to request one of the ‘assigned’ spaces. 
    • During the week, the parking bays outside King’s Centre are available to staff and visitors inside the King’s Centre, but please be aware that they are often full during office hours.
