Park near Covent Garden car parks. It’ll cost you around £10–£16 for 2 hours. Some even allow pre-booking and it’s a 15 minutes walk from Novello Theatre.

The Novello Theatre itself doesn’t have its own parking facilities, which is pretty standard for most central London theatres.

However, there are definitely options nearby, and yes, pre-booking is highly, highly recommended, especially for evening shows. It saves you a lot of stress and often a bit of money too!

Your best bet for secure, nearby parking is usually one of the Q-Park car parks. They have several locations in the West End, and many offer a special Theatreland Parking Scheme. This is fantastic because you can often get 50% off your parking charge for up to 4 hours if you validate your ticket at the theatre. It’s a real lifesaver!

For the Novello, the closest Q-Park car parks would be Q-Park Chinatown (20 Newport Place, WC2H 7PR) or Q-Park Trafalgar (Spring Gardens, SW1A 2TS). While the user mentioned Covent Garden car parks, which are indeed close, Q-Park is often specifically set up for theatre-goers.

Cost-wise, without the Theatreland discount, you’re looking at around £18 for up to 3 hours and £24 for 4 hours. With the discount, it becomes much more reasonable. Always check the Q-Park website (q-park.co.uk) for the most up-to-date prices and to pre-book your spot. It’s super easy to do online.

And yes, the walk from these car parks to the Novello is pretty manageable, usually around 10-15 minutes, which is a lovely stroll through the heart of Theatreland. Just remember to get your parking ticket validated at the theatre before you leave to get that discount!
