Parking in Portsmouth

If travelling by car, follow signs to the car parks locally which are signposted from Queen's Street or at Gunwharf Quays. Gunwharf Quays has a 1532 space underground car park. 
Portsmouth Harbour train station, The Hard Bus Interchange, the Gosport Ferry and Wightlink foot-passenger terminal are only 5 minutes walk from Gunwharf Quays.  There is a car park opposite the Wightlink car ferry terminal which is just a two minute walk, but this is very popular and busy.  Our advice is to arrive in plenty of time if you need to park.
