Would I recommend the NCP Car Park on Russell Road? Yes, with a caveat. Use it for events or if you’re treating yourself to a fuss-free day out. But not for a casual trip—you’ll pay double what the street parking costs on the other side of town.
Still, there’s something deeply satisfying about gliding into that space while someone else circles the block for the sixth time. The NCP is not romantic. It’s not atmospheric. But it’s there, reliable, and occasionally life-saving when the rain starts and the gig’s about to start. Oh, and the seagulls? They don’t steal your car. That’s a win in my book.
