Finding parking in Thornton Heath can be a mix of free and paid options. In the town centre, pay-and-display car parks are available where you'd need to pay a fee. The average cost for parking in these areas is around £0.90-1.80 per hour. However, if you prefer to save on parking expenses, consider parking in residential areas where parking is generally free.
