Parking

Patient/visitor car parks are open and normal charges apply, but space is limited and there is no on-street parking nearby. If you need to wait in your car for a period of time, please make sure you have water to drink, especially in hot weather.

There are patient and visitor car parks at the Churchill Hospital, including directly outside the Oxford Cancer Centre (Car Parks 1 and 2). All patient and visitor car parks are numbered, but staff car parks are prefixed with a letter.

Please note: some car parks are 'Pay and Display' whilst others are 'Pay on Foot'.

'Pay on Foot'. This means you take a ticket at the barrier on entry and pay when you are ready to leave, validating your ticket at one of the pay stations, which will then allow you to exit.

The first 30 minutes are free in Pay on Foot car parks; this is to enable visitors plenty of time to find a space, or wait for one to become free in busy times.

'Pay and Display'. Car Park 4 still operates this system, where visitors need to purchase a ticket from one of the machines in the vicinity and display it clearly in the vehicle.

Under certain circumstances, patients or visitors may be entitled to discounted or free parking.
