*Parking
The Elmbank Crescent car park has re-opened following full refurbishment. You can now pay on foot before you leave - there's no need to have change ready when you arrive. Credit cards are accepted.

There are three main alternatives, all around ten minutes' walk from the theatre. Our recommendation for evening parking is Glasgow City Council's 900-space multi-storey in Cambridge Street. This 24-hour pay on foot car park has lifts, CCTV, wheelchair accessible toilets (but no orange badge spaces), and has a Secured Car Parks award. Charges for the first three hours are 60p per hour thereafter £1.20 per hour before 6pm Mon-Sat but only £1 to park for as long as you wish after 6pm. Allow for a ten minute walk to the theatre. You can park for up to six hours for £5 at Direct Parking's 145-space car park at the Hilton Hotel, although this is often full. The Sauchiehall Centre closes at 6.30pm on weekdays and daytime charges are identical to those at Cambridge Street.

The King's is located at 297 Bath Street at the junction of Elmbank Street in the western end of Glasgow city centre. It is extremely well served by motorway access, easy car parking, trains and buses - all within yards of the theatre.
