The main visitors car park at Newham General Hospital is currently FREE to park.
The payment machines have been covered and notices are displayed as shown on the attached photo.
This is not a permanent arrangement and I'll update this daily until my patient gets discharged and I stop visiting the hospital.

If I have to visit my local hospital in past I used to walk there as was about 15 minute walk. I'm further out now so drive but always find somewhere close to park the car. I just hate paying park, I have many cities I park my car in for free too within reasonable walking distance of city centre. Obviously if you have a pretty decent car you might want security of a car park in event something happens it will be on cctv ...

Like yourself, I strongly dislike paying hospital car park charges, especially when you're bringing a loved one in for an emergency or visiting someone.
The usual charges for this car park when the free period comes to an end are:
3 Hours £2.20
6 Hours £4.50
8 Hours £8.00
24 Hours £16.50
Blue Badge holders can park for free.

Nothing is free - just paid for another way. Do you really believe in Labour's money tree?

It is much more business friendly and entrepreneurial, with added bonus to create business climate to attract foreign investment in parking, just increase rate to £50/hr. Capitalists want sick people to be monetisd to boost the gross domestic product. Who wants Corbyn style free parking, lol. Every £50 per hour charged increases the GDP by £50. Every little bit helps.

All sorts of freebies at hospitals. Well worth breaking your leg, so as to enjoy the free plaster cast. Break both legs, and get two!
