The Spires Car Park

Parking lot

😠 9 out of 10 time's the machines do not work. Noone is ever about to help with the issue. Heartbreaking to see the elderly get into a panic when when machines do not work. It's disgusting. I also find it so greedy that they charge for parking. I'm sure they have paid for the car park build a million... People often mention park, machines, time, parking,

    Poorly maintained car park with tiny spaces and ticket machines that are broken most of the time. Very expensive for what it is.

    Tickets machines don't always work been charged twice for same thing as I have noticed on my bank statement. Although I have been told that without a receipt I wouldn't be charged, well it happened! Twice in a row. Disappointing!

    2nd time parked here. Car park managed by ncp. There are always broken machines. You try and call the support number and you wait ages. A very bad and stressful experience.

    Mmmm.... I picked up a fine for not paying for a ticket. We took a while to park the car and as I was talking to my son about the pictures of his school trip and his excitement about picking them up we forgot to feed the machine. It's a quid - do you really think we would have done it to avoid paying it! There should be signs up as there are in other car parks on exit to remind people to get their ticket. To fine families and old people £60 is nothing short of a rip-off. Out of principal - I nor may family will be parking there again!

    A lovely shopping experience The car park is expensive. It needs more local shops. A place to eat out doors after your shopping experience.

    Since the replacement of the parking paystations an absolute nightmare, people wandering around to find one that works.

    Terrible car park even if your there for 6 minutes just looking for parking you have to pay £1. Such a ripoff. We didn’t even use the car park as there was no parking but still had to pay £1 for what. If you are going to be there long time then maybe but for 10 mins you still have to pay. Terrible service. And car park closed early too.

    Change in parking operator and machines, pay on exit but now they ask for your arrival time! This means you either overpay or run the risk of fines.

    Payment machine just gives “fatal” error, but only after entering registration and trying both cards and contactless. So then you have to go up and down floors looking for one that works, to avoid a massive penalty. Place is poorly maintained, so pretty depressing overall. Avoid if possible and go shopping elsewhere.

😠 When trying to pay the screen would say no such car in our car park. Help is always nowhere in sight. App is totally unfriendly. Trying to chase down assistance causes grief and stress.

👍 The location is ideal. Can walk from there to central London or across the street there is the underground or behind the building there is another station. This car park is not overpriced.

👍👍 Great location, less than 2miles off the motorway. Easy to find and pay for parking. As a tip, download the ‘PaybyPhone’ app in advance of your visit. Finally, also nice that there are free toilets available at the station.
