Attention : le parking du 6ème au 15ème est fermé en raison d'un festival en cours !! Grand parking public au très intéressant Roman Verulamium Museum (fouilles de la troisième plus grande ville romaine de Grande-Bretagne). Calme la nuit, animé et plein le jour. Bonne escale pour le ferry Douvres - Calais, qui se trouve à environ 100 milles d'ici. En outre, un grand parc de sports et de loisirs avec des fouilles romaines, un lac pittoresque et un café. Derrière le parc se trouve le centre-ville.


Large public car park at the very interesting Roman Verulamium Museum (excavations of the third largest Roman city in Great Britain). Quiet at night, lively and full during the day. Good stopover for the Dover - Calais ferry, which is about 100 miles from here. In addition, a large sports and leisure park with Roman excavations, a picturesque lake and a café. Behind the park is the city center.

Achtung: 6.-15. Parkplatz ist wegen eines bevorstehenden Festivals geschlossen !! Großer öffentlicher Parkplatz am sehr interessanten Römischen Verulamium Museum (Ausgrabungen der drittgrößten Römerstadt Großbritanniens). Nachts ruhig, tagsüber lebhaft und voll.

    Super endroit. On y a passé une excellente nuit. Il faut payer pour se garer en journée. Il y a le musée, le parc et la ville au pied du parking.

  • 5/5

    Handy stop in a good sized car park, right next to the Verulamium Museum, a massive park and a great walk into St Alban's to visit the Cathedral (highly recommended & dog friendly). The cost is £2 from 6.30pm - 10pm, then free until 9.30am. No facilities but we didn't require any. Be warned the church bells do ring in the hour overnight.

  • 4/5

    Prima plaats voor een korte tussenstop. Ongeveer 20 minuten van de Warner Bros Studios. Drukke parkeerplaats, dus even zoeken naar een plekje. 5 minuten lopen zit 'The Wafelhouse', een superleuke plek voor een speciale lunch. Overdag betaal je £5,40 voor 6 uur staan.

  • 5/5

    handy location for exploring St Albans. Average sized bays, some able to accommodate longer vehicles as there is overhang. Toilets available 9am-6pm. tight to exit if full. noisy easter Sunday with church bells ringing.

  • 5/5

    Best spot outside of London for one night! Super quiet and free overnight from 10pm. Please arrive and leave this area as clean as can be folks.

  • 5/5

    Very good car park! We were the only van there on Saturday night but by the morning (8am) it was almost completely full! Sunday morning kids football classes plus dog walkers. Toilets only open dawn to dusk and the radar key toilet is even locked behind an inaccessible door. Lovely park to explore and great cafes in St Alban's - affordable daytime rates in this car park and free overnight.

  • 5/5

    Good park up with prime access to a lovely walking park.

  • 5/5

    parking gratuit de 18h30 à 7h30 . endroit plutôt calme pour la nuit. nous nous sommes sentis en sécurité même s'il y a eu un peu de passage avant minuit.

  • 5/5

    Amazing little find. Kudos to whoever posted this. Stayed the night with the dog. Nice and quiet. lovely park for walks. Just outside of London so away from all the madness but close enough to pop in. Had a great sleep after a long drive. Perfect.

  • 4/5

    Free parking between 10pm-7:30am. I stayed one night in my transit, nice quiet place to park up, only a few others vans when I arrived at 10:30pm and still quite quiet in the morning when I left at 7:20am. Felt secure and safe, toilet facilities only available during the day.

  • 5/5

    Great stopover. Never quiet as a busy city car park which is used by dog walkers, joggers, dreamers etc. Larger vans - park at the lower end with the back over the grass and you are not blocking anyone. Overhanging branches towards the park restrict which bays you use and how you drive through the site. We had no problems and slept well.

  • 5/5

    Bon emplacement, pratique même pour les longs camping car. Ravis de le trouver en sortant (tard) des studios Harry Potter !

  • 5/5

    Le parking est payant de 7h30 jusqu'à 18h30. De 18h30 à 22h c'est moins cher et gratuit la nuit. il y a un parc pour les enfants ainsi qu'un très grand parc. Nous en avons profité pour aller à Londres. Il faut aller à la gare de st Albans city vous arriverez à St Pancras. En telechargeant l'application paiement parking vous pouvez facilement remettre du stationnement même à distance.

    Brilliant stay here for a few days in London. £15 parking for 24 hours. Parking felt safe and has security cameras. Public toilets open ‘dawn until dusk’. HUGE park to walk around and/or play in if you’ve got children. 25-30 minute walk or 5 minute bus journey to train station, then only 25 mins to London city centre. Would definitely recommend and will stay here again, 5*

  • 5/5

    Absolutely stunning spot, few campers here when we arrived, large park for kids 10/10

  • 5/5

    Probably the best stop we’ve used for park4night. Free and felt safe, 4 other vans when we arrived. Great local cafe and park and a stroll into St Albans. Will use again. Please leave as you find it!

  • 4/5

    Bel emplacement de plusieurs places de parcs, convient aux grands véhicules, est en légère pente, au calme, proche de grands espaces verts. Gratuit la nuit. Possède des WC, mais vraiment très sales.

  • 4/5

    Paid £7.65 on the app to park from 1:40pm through to 7:30am (£1.50 overnight). Lovely 20min wander through the well kept park into the centre, great dinner at the 6 Bells then a fairly peaceful night’s sleep once the hourly church bells stopped at midnight. Bins & toilets. Would stay again.

  • 5/5

    a very peaceful stay, a 20 min walk into st Alban's centre and a fantastic pub on the edge of the park halfway on the route.

  • 5/5

    Amazing. Just make sure to get here early/late as the carpark was overflowing by 10am. Paid £6 for 24hrs on a Sunday. Make sure to pay as we saw lots of cars get fined. Lovely area with lake, ovals and playground.

  • 5/5

    This is an absolutely lovely spot. Free overnight, lovely and quiet. The park is beautiful with a beautiful wooded area, a lake, and bits of Roman and medieval remains (including a Roman mosaic floor). Park away from the park gates for the best evening light and if you don't want people passing by you.

  • 5/5

    Parking calme la nuit, peu de monde. Il y a des toilettes publiques et des tables de pique nique. Situé juste à côté d'un parc, ce qui est très agréable

  • 3/5

    st. Albans in general seems quite a challenging place to park.

  • 2/5

    Beautiful and interesting park here and very clean and tidy. There were 3 vans here last night, and parking free after 6.30pm. Popular with locals for walking and running. Unfortunately we experienced some behavior around midnight with some youths riding a motorbike around for about an hour and then a burnout rather close to us.

  • 5/5

    Lovely little spot, didn’t notice the church bells either! Very quiet at night but soon filled up in the morning.

  • 5/5

    Great. Very big for our minibus conversion, next to lovely park. Couldn’t hear the church bells. Great stop.

  • 4/5

    Très chouette endroit (vert, gratuit, propre) où faire une étape sur la route de Douvres à Glasgow.

  • 3/5

    Great car park but don't park near the gates to the park as all the dog walkers seemed to park there in the morning...and they start early. No one has mentioned the church which chimes for each hour.

  • 5/5

    Spent lovely quiet 2 nights here when visiting family in London as only 20 mins in on the train. 15 min walk into St Albans through the park and past the Cathedral and then another 10 mins to station. Toilets on site. Plenty of space and no prohibitive signs. Free parking overnight and £4.40 for full day. Got busy Sat morning for park run!

  • 5/5

    très bien pour la nuit. pas de bruit. aire de jeu pour enfants à côté. à 30 mn de Londres.

  • 1/5

    people with music super loud, talking loud around the van it has been impossible to get some sleep. I had to leave around midnight.

  • 4/5

    Très bon spot pour une nuit, arrivés vers 22h après la visite des studios HP. Beaucoup de place sur le parking qui est gratuit pour la nuit, toilettes propres.

  • 4/5

    Actually overnight stay (6:30pm till 9:30am) is free. GBP 3.80 charge applies if you want to stay for 24h as it includes chargeable hours. Apart from museum there is separate building with roman floor mosaic in great condition and remnants of roman walls in the park.

  • 4/5

    Arrived about 4pm on a Wednesday afternoon. Plenty of parking a available and found a fairly flat spot towards playing field side of the car park. Paid £3.80 for 24 hours! No horrid rules and regulations indicating no overnight parking/sleeping in vans etc. Going to a concert at the St Albans Arena tonight.

  • 4/5

    Date of stay: 7th August 2021. This is a great parking spot for the night, we parked here after being at the Harry Porter studios before driving to Canterbury the next day and it’s free to park overnight (I can’t remember the specific timings though!). There are toilets but I think they’re only open during daylight hours. It was really quiet when we stayed here and there were only 2 other vans.

  • 5/5

    Great spot. stayed here for the night. toilets a stone throw away, but close around 8ish, great spot for the beautifulpark and 15 minutes walk to the cathedralthrough the park. had a quiet night in the car park. we were the only van there, but had no problems. highly recommended.

  • 5/5

    Great spot for the night. 15 mins walk through the park to wonderful cathedral and lovely town centre full of shops, pubs and restaurants.

  • 5/5

    Lovely spot by a large Park toilets open during the day

  • 4/5

    Parking gratuit de 18h30 à 9h30. Il est indiqué qu'il est possible d'y passer la nuit. Calme jusqu'à 7h. Prévoir les cales. Pas de service.

  • 5/5

    Great free place for overnight stop, huge park adjacent, perfect for dog walking, pubs nearby and a lovely cafe in the park for breakfast. Recommended!

  • 5/5

    Toller Platz für eine Nacht als Zwischenstopp von/nach Dover. Der riesige Park direkt daneben ist ideal für Hundehalte oder Sport.

  • 4/5

    This is a nice spot. The park is very busy during the day - it may be tough to get a park. We used this for trip to visit London - the train station St Albans City is 15 mins walk and 25 mins train straight into the middle of London.

  • 5/5

    Lovely place - toilets in the car park. National Car Park employees said it was fine to stay overnight and was free!! very quiet too!
