Visitors with mobility access requirements

We offer a range of facilities to help you explore the paintings, visit exhibitions and come to events.

Badge-holder parking


There is one designated parking space on Orange Street. Please note this parking space is about 250 meters from the Getty Entrance.

You are required to book 48 hours in advance by telephoning: 020 7747 2885.

There are five alternative parking spaces available nearby in St Martin's Street.

The space on Orange Street is not on the National Gallery premises. Should another Blue Badge holder park there before you arrive, unfortunately, we cannot send them away. If this occurs, there are alternative parking spaces available in St Martin’s Street and Leicester Square Car Park. Please phone Westminster Parking Information Service on 020 7823 4567 for more information.

Public car parks are available nearby in Leicester Square [external link, opens in a new tab] and Trafalgar Square [external link, opens in a new tab].
