Park at Westfield Stratford City Without Guessing the Price
Westfield Stratford City has more than 4,500 parking spaces across Car Parks A, B and C. However, the price changes with your stay length and whether you visit on a weekday, weekend or bank holiday. Therefore, it pays to know the tariff before you drive into the centre.
MONDAY–FRIDAY
Fast Answer: Westfield Stratford City Parking
For a short weekday visit, the current Westfield tariff starts at £3 for up to one hour. At weekends and on bank holidays, the same stay currently costs £3.50.
If you expect to stay for two to four hours, the weekday charge is £8.50. However, the equivalent weekend or bank-holiday charge is £9.50. Therefore, a shopping trip on Saturday or Sunday can cost slightly more than the same visit during the week.
For a longer visit, the price rises by duration. For example, a weekday stay of 10 to 12 hours currently costs £13. Meanwhile, the weekend or bank-holiday price for that band is £15.
Once your stay reaches 12 to 16 hours, the published charge is £20 regardless of the day. Similarly, a 16 to 24 hour stay currently costs £25.
Importantly, there is no general free car-parking period published for ordinary visitors at Westfield Stratford City. Also, Blue Badge parking is not free at this centre. Standard parking charges still apply.

First, estimate your total visit time. Then, compare the correct weekday or weekend tariff before choosing how long to stay.
| Stay Length | Monday–Friday | Weekend / Bank Holiday | Planning Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–1 hour | £3.00 | £3.50 | Best suited to a very quick visit. |
| 1–2 hours | £6.00 | £6.50 | Useful for a short shopping or collection trip. |
| 2–4 hours | £8.50 | £9.50 | A common band for shopping plus food. |
| 4–6 hours | £9.50 | £11.50 | Allow for cinema, dining or longer browsing. |
| 6–8 hours | £9.50 | £13.00 | Weekday pricing is notably lower in this band. |
| 8–10 hours | £11.50 | £14.00 | Useful for an extended day at Stratford. |
| 10–12 hours | £13.00 | £15.00 | Check your full arrival-to-exit time. |
| 12–16 hours | £20.00 | £20.00 | The day of the week no longer changes the tariff. |
| 16–24 hours | £25.00 | £25.00 | Confirm overnight plans before committing. |
How Much Will a Typical Visit Cost?
The easiest way to plan your parking bill is to match the tariff to the visit you actually expect. However, build in some spare time. A meal, cinema screening, queue, collection delay or busy exit can push you into the next price band.
Up to One Hour on a Weekday
This is the lowest current standard car-parking tariff. Therefore, it works best for a fast collection, return or focused shopping stop.
Two to Four Hours on a Weekday
This band gives you more time for shopping and food. However, if you add a cinema visit or a long meal, four hours may disappear quickly.
Four to Eight Hours on a Weekday
Interestingly, the weekday tariff remains £9.50 from four to eight hours. Therefore, a longer weekday visit may cost only slightly more than a shorter one.
Ten to Twelve Hours on a Weekday
This band may suit a long day that combines shopping, entertainment and dining. Nevertheless, check whether your stay could pass 12 hours.
Twelve to Sixteen Hours
At this point, the published tariff is the same every day. As a result, weekday and weekend price differences no longer matter.
Sixteen to Twenty-Four Hours
This is the current published 16–24 hour tariff. Therefore, check the total stay carefully if you plan to leave your vehicle overnight.
Car Parks A, B and C: What Drivers Should Know
Westfield Stratford City provides more than 4,500 spaces across three main car parks: A, B and C. In addition, Westfield lists 24/7 entry and exit. However, individual car parks can temporarily close to new entries when demand reaches capacity.
Therefore, do not assume that your preferred car park will always remain open simply because the centre itself is accessible. During busy shopping periods, events or weekends, follow live signs and staff directions.
Is There Free Parking at Westfield Stratford City?
For ordinary car users, Westfield does not currently publish a standard free parking period at Stratford City. Therefore, do not arrive expecting a free first hour or a free evening period.
Also, Blue Badge holders pay standard parking charges at Westfield Stratford City. This is important because Westfield London in Shepherd’s Bush has a different Blue Badge offer, which can easily cause confusion.
What Can Actually Be Free?
CAR HOUR Standard car parking is paid Westfield’s published Stratford City tariff starts from the first hour. Therefore, plan for a parking charge even on a short visit.
BADGE Accessible parking is not free Blue Badge bays are available. However, standard parking charges apply at Stratford City.
Blue Badge and Accessible Parking
Accessible bays are available across Westfield Stratford City’s car parks. Westfield asks drivers to display a valid Blue Badge while parked.
However, displaying a Blue Badge does not make parking free at Stratford City. Standard parking charges apply. Therefore, budget for the same tariff bands shown earlier in this guide.
This rule differs from Westfield London in Shepherd’s Bush. In fact, Westfield explicitly states that the four-hour free Blue Badge parking benefit there does not apply at Westfield Stratford City.
Electric Vehicle Charging at Westfield Stratford City
EV charging is available within the parking complex. Westfield currently lists charging facilities in Car Park A on Level P4 and Car Park B on Level P2.
However, an EV charging bay should not be treated as ordinary parking. Therefore, follow the charging instructions at the bay and check any charging costs or time conditions shown by the service.
Also, standard Westfield parking charges may still apply while your vehicle is parked. Consequently, account for both the car-park tariff and any EV charging cost when comparing the total price of your visit.
How to Pay for Westfield Stratford City Parking
Westfield’s current service information directs drivers to the payment options available at the centre. In particular, a current Westfield service page states that W-Park is no longer available and tells visitors to use QR codes or payment machines in the lobbies.
Therefore, do not rely on an older article that tells you W-Park is the only way to pay. Westfield’s own pages contain some older references to W-Park, so the payment instructions displayed at the car park should take priority.
Parent-and-Child, Motorcycle and Coach Parking
Parent-and-Child Bays
Westfield lists parent-and-child bays within the parking complex. Therefore, families should follow the current signs after entering rather than stopping in the first convenient standard bay.
Motorcycle Parking
Motorcycle parking is also provided. Westfield’s current parking information lists motorcycle parking before the entry to Car Park A on Level P1, while its services page also references motorcycle parking areas associated with Car Parks A and B.
Because published location wording can differ between service pages, follow the latest on-site motorcycle signs when you arrive.
Coach Parking
Westfield currently lists 10 coach parking spaces at postcode E20 1GS. These spaces must be booked in advance. The published price is £50 plus VAT for 24 hours.
Therefore, groups should arrange coach parking before travelling rather than turning up and expecting one of the ten spaces to be available.
Which Parking Plan Fits Your Visit?
The most convenient plan depends on how long you will actually stay. Therefore, use the whole visit—not just shopping time—when choosing a tariff band.
Weekday vs Weekend Parking: Where the Difference Matters
Weekend and bank-holiday pricing is higher in several shorter and mid-length tariff bands. Therefore, a Saturday visit can cost more than a similar Monday-to-Friday visit.
For example, two to four hours currently costs £8.50 on a weekday and £9.50 at weekends or on bank holidays. Meanwhile, six to eight hours rises from £9.50 on a weekday to £13 at the weekend.
However, once the stay reaches 12 hours, the published price becomes the same across the week: £20 for 12–16 hours and £25 for 16–24 hours.
What Happens When a Westfield Car Park Is Full?
Westfield uses dynamic closures when demand reaches capacity. Therefore, a car park can temporarily close to incoming vehicles even though entry and exit are generally available 24/7.
This is particularly relevant during busy weekends, major events, Christmas shopping periods and other peak times. Consequently, follow the live parking signs as you approach the centre.
Also, avoid committing to a specific internal car park so strongly that you ignore a live closure. A backup choice can save time when traffic around Stratford is already heavy.
Vehicle Height Limit: Check Before You Enter
Westfield’s current Stratford City parking page lists a maximum vehicle height of 2.1 metres.
Therefore, drivers of taller vehicles should measure the vehicle’s actual loaded height before travelling. Roof boxes, bike carriers and other equipment can change clearance even when the vehicle normally fits a multi-storey car park.
Bicycle Parking at Westfield Stratford City
Westfield currently lists more than 650 secure bicycle spaces around the centre. Therefore, cycling may be a useful alternative if you want to avoid car-parking charges entirely.
Bicycle parking locations include Car Park A Level P1, International Square, Westfield Avenue, Montfichet Road, The Street and Meridian Steps. However, Westfield states that bicycles cannot be taken in the lifts around the centre.
In addition, bicycle parking is intended for one day only. Consequently, it should not be treated as long-term bicycle storage.

This guide is designed to make the parking choices easier to understand. However, Westfield should remain your final source for live pricing, access, car-park closures and service changes.
Driving Elsewhere in Central London?
Westfield Stratford City has its own private parking tariff. However, driving into other parts of London can involve completely different street-parking rules, borough charges and TfL road charges.
Therefore, if you are continuing into central London, use our separate city-centre guide rather than applying Westfield’s rules to another area.
