The venue benefits from on-site car parking and has full access for those with disabilities.

Arriving at the BDC

There is a payable car park adjacent to the Centre with approximately 200 spaces. Please note there is a 1.9m height restriction. There are further car parks within walking distance of the Business Design Centre, including at the nearby shopping centre.

If you arrive by car, BDC has 8 dedicated parking spaces for blue badge holders in their on-site car park. There is a passenger lift to street level or the BDC forecourt, or you can take the 17-step pedestrian staircase.

The route from the car park to the building is well-lit and clearly marked. The surface is firm. There are two staircases between street level and the building (5 and 12 steps respectively, all with handrails).  A ramp is available on the forecourt.

If someone is dropping you off in a vehicle, please contact the BDC's front of house team so they can give you access to the forecourt through our security point. Please call 0207 288 6475.
