Parking during your visit

Please note there is no on-site parking at Portsmouth Cathedral, this includes no disabled parking, and on-street parking around Old Portsmouth is extremely limited.

We advise making use of public transport options when visiting for sightseeing, services or events – with major transport interchanges a short walk away.

Pay-and-display car parks are available a short walk away at Clarence Pier, and Southsea Common. Parking is also available at Gunwharf Quays – around a 10 minute walk from the Cathedral. If you are attending an event or service, please leave enough time to arrive, as parking is often limited during – especially so most evenings and weekends.

If you do need to drive to the cathedral, please be considerate of our neighbours and residents – ensuring not to block driveways or access.

We provide bike racks at the Cathedral – so why not make the most of Portsmouth’s flat terrain and cycle to the Cathedral!
