| Parking & Registration | Westminster Lodge Pay & Display – free for 2 hours, then chargeable. The number of spaces may be limited, so if full, use street parking opposite the entrance to the Park. Registration and download are based at the rear of the Sea Cadets’ Hut which is situated between the swimming pool and the running track. Please note: Westminster Lodge is very well signed, so there won’t be any O signage on the main roads. Look for the vertical yellow and blue HH banner as you come to the parking areas past the swimming pool. |
