The pattern: official rates are fixed per entry time window, while third-party aggregators offer variable pricing that can significantly undercut the official drop-in tariff.

How much does it cost to park at North Greenwich Station?

Standard daily rates

• Enter before 6pm Monday–Friday: £18.00 per day (Saba Parking — TfL Official Partner)
• Enter after 6pm Monday–Friday: £27.50 per day (Saba Parking)
• Weekends and bank holidays – before 6pm: £18.00; after 6pm: £27.50 (Saba Parking)
• Motorcycle: flat £2.00 per day (Saba Parking)
• Long-term: one week £101.00, one month £404.00, three months £1,212.00, twelve months £4,848.00 (Saba Parking)

Season ticket holder restrictions

Between 1am and 11am Monday to Friday, only season ticket holders can park. That means casual users arriving early for a morning train need to either book a season ticket or arrive after 11am. The restriction keeps spaces available for regular commuters during peak hours.

Is the North Greenwich Station car park open 24 hours?

Official opening hours

The car park is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can enter or leave at any time. The non-barriered design means there are no physical gates to restrict access — ANPR cameras record your licence plate when you drive in and out.

Access restrictions for season ticket holders

• Monday–Friday 1am–11am: season ticket holders only (Saba Parking)
• Outside that window, any user can park.
• The restriction does not apply on weekends or bank holidays.

The implication: if you’re a weekend visitor to The O2 or Greenwich Park, you have full 24-hour access. If you’re a weekday commuter arriving before 11am, you need a season ticket or you’ll have to wait or park elsewhere.

How do I pay for parking at North Greenwich Station?

PaybyPhone app

1. Download the PaybyPhone app (iOS/Android)
2. Register your vehicle and payment method
3. Enter the location code for North Greenwich Station car park (you’ll find it on signs)
4. Choose your duration and confirm payment

PaybyPhone is the primary payment method. You can extend your stay remotely via the app.

Payment machines on site

There are payment machines located within the car park. You can pay with a debit or credit card. These machines are the fallback if you cannot use the app.

ANPR automatic billing

The car park uses ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) technology. When you enter, your licence plate is recorded. When you exit, the system checks if payment was made. If not, you may receive a penalty charge notice. This cashless system is operated by NCP on behalf of Saba (Saba Parking — TfL Official Partner).

The pattern: three payment routes, but all digital. No cash. Make sure at least one method is ready before you drive in.

Can I pre-book a space at North Greenwich Station car park?

Pre-booking options via JustPark

JustPark lets you reserve a space in the car park from £6.50 per day. Availability varies, but typically you can book up to a month in advance. This is significantly cheaper than the official drop-in rate.

TfL and Saba official reservation policy

The official operator (Saba) does not offer a “pay-as-you-go” pre-booking option for daily parking. Season tickets must be purchased directly through Saba’s long-term plans. For one-off visits, your options are either turn-up pay-by-plate or pre-book via a third-party partner like JustPark.

Last-minute availability

Because the car park is non-barriered, you can always try turning up. The risk is that if it’s full (common during weekday peaks and O2 events), you’ll need to find alternative parking elsewhere. The 509-space car park has no real-time occupancy display online.

The trade-off: pre-booking costs less and guarantees a space, but reduces flexibility. Turn-up is flexible but risky at busy times.

Are there alternatives for parking near North Greenwich Station?

Greenwich Park parking

Greenwich Park has its own car park, but charges apply. Rates are set by the Royal Parks and are typically comparable to the station’s weekend tariff. However, the park is a 15-minute walk from the station, and spaces are limited.

Greenwich Station parking

Greenwich Station (southeastern trains) has parking available from around £6.60 per day via JustPark. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the Cutty Sark DLR stop, which connects directly to North Greenwich. This can be a cheaper alternative for all-day parking.

Private driveways on JustPark

JustPark also lists private driveways in the North Greenwich area, often priced at £5–£10 per day. These are residential spots within a short walk of the station. They offer no guarantee of availability and may have access restrictions.

The pattern: for weekday commuting, the station car park’s season ticket restriction makes it less user-friendly than it appears. For event parking, pre-booking a private driveway or using Greenwich Station can be both cheaper and less stressful.

How to pay step by step (PaybyPhone)

1. Download the PaybyPhone app from the App Store or Google Play.
2. Create an account with your vehicle registration and a payment card.
3. Find the car park code – it’s displayed on signs at the entrance and near the machines.
4. Set your duration – you can park up to 7 days maximum.
5. Confirm payment – you’ll receive a confirmation email. The ANPR system will recognise your plate.

Alternatively, use the on-site payment machine with a debit/credit card. Both methods are accepted. No cash.

What’s confirmed and what’s still unclear

For commuters and event-goers, the choice is clear: if you’re driving to The O2 or office near North Greenwich, pre-book via JustPark to save money, or pay the official ANPR rate for flexibility. The season ticket restriction makes weekday morning access a non-starter for casual users. Plan your timing and payment method before you set off.
