CAR
Parking is extremely limited in the West End so we’d strongly encourage you to take public transport if you can. There are parking restrictions in nearby streets and Parking Enforcement Officers will be in operation. The nearest car park is a few minutes walk away at Lilybank Gardens, just off Ashton Lane, and there is another at Kelvinbridge Subway Station. There’s also a taxi rank just outside the Botanic Gardens.
