Do I get parking with a car wash booking?

Yes — every car-wash booking includes one free hour of parking on the same forecourt. If you need longer than an hour, book parking separately for the additional time.

How do I pay, and where is it?

Pay online when you book — cash isn't accepted on site. It's about a 3-minute walk from Waterloo Station and 6 minutes from the London Eye and the South Bank.

Do I need to book in advance, or can I turn up?

Booking ahead by time slot is how the service works — it's a pre-book system rather than a walk-up queue, so pre-booking guarantees the wash team has your slot staffed and ready. Same-day slots are often available; check the live booking panel on this page for the next open time.

How long does a wash take at Waterloo?

It depends on the tier booked — an exterior hand wash is quicker than a full valet with interior detailing. The booking panel shows the time slot length for each service tier so you know how long to allow before you need the car back.

Can I cancel or change a car wash booking?

Car-wash bookings can be cancelled free of charge up to 2 hours before the booked start time — a shorter window than the 24-hour parking cancellation policy, because the wash team is staffed for the slot. Cancel or amend from your account dashboard or by replying to the booking confirmation email.
