From 1 April 2026, parking on the Whittington Hospital site will change. Patient and visitor parking on site will no longer be available, except for blue badge holders and specific national exemption groups, including parents of children staying overnight and some frequent outpatient attenders. Drop off and pick up will still be available for up to 20 minutes. We are making this change because we are losing around 40 percent of our parking spaces due to redevelopment on land next to the hospital. We are not able to replace these spaces locally. We understand this will be disappointing for some people. Full details about who can still park and how to arrange this are available on our website.

We know how important it is that those waiting for planned care receive it as quickly and safely as possible. That is why over the past 2 months our staff have been sprinting to see more than 5,500 additional patients in the evenings and at weekends.
