Car Parking Edinburgh Waverley Train Station

Car Parking Edinburgh Waverley Train Stationにまつわる役立つ知識を分かりやすく発信ます。

Let’s talk about the main game in town: the Waverley Station Car Park itself. It’s located right underneath the station, which sounds dreamy—roll out of your car, walk up an escalator, and boom, you’re on Platform 3. But here’s the kicker: it’s tiny, cramped, and costs a small fortune. I once paid £28 for three hours. Twenty-eight pounds. That’s almost the price of a return ticket to London for the price of a slab of concrete.

The spaces are narrow too, perfect if you drive a Smart car. If you’re in a family SUV, bring a yoga mat and some deep breathing exercises because you’ll be squeezing through doors. Oh, and it gets full by 7:30 AM on weekdays. Pro tip: if you see a space near the entrance, take it. Don’t be greedy. The parking karma is real.

The secret life of nearby car parks

If underground chaos isn’t your vibe, consider the NCP on East Market Street. It’s a five-minute walk from the station, which in Edinburgh rain feels like an hour, but it’s cheaper and slightly roomier. The real trick? Book online in advance. The prices drop from “are you kidding me?” to “okay, I can live with this.”

Another sneaky option is the Holyrood Road car park. It’s a bit further—maybe ten minutes on foot—but it’s near the Scottish Parliament, so the area is well-lit and safe. Plus, you get to walk past the gorgeous Dynamic Earth building. Inspirational? Sure. Does it help with your heavy suitcase? Not one bit.
