Directions and Parking

Please note: we are no longer at the Walton Hospital in Rice Lane, Liverpool. We are the Walton Centre in Fazakerley.

If you are asking directions, catching a bus or taxi, we are next to the more widely known University Hospital Aintree (formerly known as Fazakerley Hospital.) You should also be aware that certain treatments can affect your ability to drive or walk, and you may need help getting home.

2. Car Parking

There are Pay & Display car parks at the front and to the right of the main entrance. Parking is charged at £2.00 per day. Ticket Machines are located by the door of the main entrance and in the car park to the right of the entrance. No change is given from these ticket machines, so you will need to bring coins with you. However, there is a cash change machine in reception.

We do have a limited number of free Disabled Parking spaces directly outside the main entrance. Please display your current Blue Badge. Please do not park here if you do not have a Blue Badge as you may be fined.
