Practical Information
Parking
The car park has limited spaces. Parking charges are expensive and complex, based on the emissions of your engine. Paying to park is now cashless and by the PayByPhone app only. If you still prefer to arrive by car we advise avoiding the busiest period (11am-2pm). Note that vehicle entry is only via the Beckenham Hill Road entrance (Sat Nav: BR3 1SY) opposite the Church of St Augustine. If your GPS takes you elsewhere, try SE6 3PU instead, or use ///follow.skinny.fade. Consider using St George’s Road car park, near to Beckenham Junction Station - it's 90p/hr (free on Sunday) and just a 12 minute walk to the Market. Alternatively, there’s on-street parking close to the Downham entrance on Old Bromley Road (Sat Nav: BR1 4LE) and near to Ravensbourne Station, (Sat Nav: BR3 5HE). Please respect local residents and other road users, and park considerately. The Mansion is an enjoyable 15 minute stroll across the Park from both these entrances.
Accessibility
Step-free entrances to Ground Floor rooms only, with level access throughout.
