FAQs for Willesden
Can the van park in Roundwood Park?

How fast is service?

Yes, and families love joining in.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Lighting for later visits
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
As a London location, Willesden is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Step by step

For a summer visit in Willesden, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
