Hallamshire Parking

Recommended Posts

I know this topic has already been discussed- but I have an upcoming appointment at the Dental Hospital- and wonder whether to take a taxi or my own car.  Could anyone tell me how easy it is to find a parking space?    I have read that the multi story car park does not have a lift.  Are there a lot of stairs to negotiate to the ground floor or does it have ramps?   Also- directions to the dental hospital wing would be greatly appreciated (out patients).  Thank you all in advance.

Taxi!

 

The Charles Clifford Dental Hospital is on a street parallel to Western Bank behind Weston Park Hospital.

Western Bank is part of the main road between The Children's Hospital and Broomhill on the frequent 51, 52/52a bus routes.

Neither multi-story carparks are suitable if you are concerned about stairs as the steep 350m route to the dental hospital could be a problem.

A taxi, or the very frequent 51, 52/52a stopping on Western Bank is a better option. There are plenty of underused taxis at the moment.

You can park in the multistorey at the Hallamshire,  it's free and it doesn't get full at the moment.

Many thanks all of you for your help and advice. Looks like I'm going to go by taxi.  Any recommendations?

Depending which area/direction your coming from, could always use a Park & Ride site or even park somewhere free close to town and do the last leg on a bus (say Duke Street area and then jump on a 120 for a 10 min journey through town up to Hallamshire).

Not for much longer though, heard that free parking was ending at the end of April.

The OP is going to the Dental Hospital not the Hallamshire.

-so 51, 52 or 52a not 120

The OP has suggested that stairs may be a problem.

-the multistorey at the Hallamshire is 350m away and a bit of a climb
