Parking
The Club does not have its own car parking facility, however there are a number of local car parks that can be utilised.
Q-Park – Park Lane is an underground car park situated beneath Hyde Park, just a 10 minute walk from the Club and outside of the Congestion Zone. Members can benefit from a 50% discount on parking for 24 hours (or part there of), usually £45.00. Collect your ticket from the machine and a secondary ‘Follow-up’ tickets can be found at RAF Club reception before returning to the car park at the end of your stay to pay. https://www.q-park.co.uk/en-gb/cities/london/park-lane/
Alternatively, you can use Euro Car Parks on Park Lane. RAF Club members are eligible for a 25% discount when staying overnight. Euro Car Parks now operates a “no barrier” system, where cars are recorded on entry using cameras. Once parked, members must visit the manned kiosk before leaving the car park, and pay in full for their stay. The 25% member discount will be applied at this stage. This is a change to previous procedure, when the car park was under different management and members paid when picking up their car. www.eurocarparks.com

The Club is located within the congestion charging zone. Drivers of vehicles with more than two wheels entering the zone are required to pay the congestion zone charge if they wish to drive in central London between 7.00am to 10.00pm daily (excluding Christmas Day). https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/congestion-charge/congestion-charge-zone
