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!
