  • Taxi:

    There is a designated drop-off point for the Hospital before you reach the car park barriers- this is a short zebra crossing from the museum entrance.

  • Parking:

    If travelling by car please be aware that the museum is located within the Congestion Charge Zone.

    We do not have our own designated parking, the nearest parking is St Thomas’ Hospital this is very limited parking and should be prioritised for patients of the hospital and those with limited mobility. Details and charges can be found on the hospital’s website.

    There is no parking for coaches and minibuses and the turning circle outside of the museum is very tight- if you are travelling in this way we recommend being dropped off on Westminster Bridge Road.
