NCP Southport London Street

If you're heading into town for a bit of shopping on Lord Street or maybe catching a show at the Southport Theatre, the NCP on London Street is usually my go-to. It’s right in the middle of things, which is super handy. Just be warned, it's not free, you will have to pay.

It's a multi-storey, so you're covered from the elements – a big plus when Southport's doing its best impression of a raincloud! Google reviews sit at 3.5 stars from 166 reviews, so it's not perfect, but it does the job. It's open 24/7, which is ideal if you're out late.

It can get pretty busy on Saturdays, especially in the run-up to Christmas, so give yourself a bit of extra time to find a space. It's a fairly big car park, but everyone heads into town to shop at the weekend.

One thing to keep in mind: check the prices online or on the app before you go, as they can fluctuate depending on the day and time.
