Location and Accessibility
A number of bus routes including 182, 223, 186 and H9, serve the hospital, most of them calling at dedicated bus interchange sited within the hospital grounds near the main Watford Road entrance on the west side of the site; other buses pass nearby on Kenton Road and Watford Road without entering the hospital. The nearest railway stations are Kenton, Northwick Park and Harrow on the Hill, all of which have direct bus connections. There are direct links by bus from other areas including Edgware, Wembley and Kingsbury.
Northwick Park Underground station is connected to the hospital by a footpath, and the journey takes approximately 5–10 minutes.
Car parking is plentiful in multistorey and ground-level car parks around the site. All car parks are pay & display; there are concessions for longer term visitors, patients in receipt of supplementary benefits can obtain refunds of parking fees at the hospital. There are a limited number of spaces (avoiding the need to use the barriers and ticket machines) for Blue badge holders. The car park is a cash only system.
The hospital's retail centre, The Square, contains a branch of Costa Coffee, a Northwick Park League of Friends Shop, a fruit and vegetable market and a hair salon. There is also a large convenience store operated by WHSmith, a dry cleaner, and several other outlets around the site operated by WHSmith, hospital volunteers or the St Mark's League of Friends.
