This privately-run car park is conveniently placed if you plan on parking prior to a riverside wander, or enjoying a meal close to the river, in Kingston. May I politely suggest, however, that you think again For starters, it is very expensive at £4.50 for two hours. The Pay-and-Display ticket machine failed to function smoothly when we visited here on Sunday evening. We had to persevere many times before it accepted our coins. After paying the requisite £4.50, we were greeted with the message that the minimum charge was £5.50 (although this appeared nowhere on their information or signage). We then retrieved our coins and started over with a £5 note. The note was swallowed by the machine but not acknowledged and was impossible to retrieve. Prior to this, inserting a credit card - twice - (and following the instructions!), also failed to be acknowledged. So, except if this was a one-night blip, I recommend that you look elsewhere unless you enjoy a frustrating, very pricey inefficient parking experience. read more
