Driving and Parking Nearby

The mid-morning session on a weekday is generally the best time to visit and park in central Birmingham. The NCP car parks and most pay-and-display bays will have better availability and lower rates than an afternoon on a Saturday.

The Clean Air Zone

Even if you are planning a day of bouldering in the city centre of Birmingham, remember the Birmingham’s Clean Air Zone charges that apply to enter the city centre with your car. The charges apply to most vehicles depending on their emission standard.

Cycling to the Wall

Birmingham is well served for cyclists and many gyms and climbing walls will store bikes on an overnight basis for their customers. Outside a city centre wall a D-lock through the frame of your bike is advised even for a short stay.
