King's Lynn's £6m multi-storey car park opened in October 2005 to high acclaim. It was voted No. 1 in the 'Nation's Best Car Park' survey commissioned by the AA.
Kevin Beresford, roundabout connoisseur and self-appointed head of the Car Park Appreciation Society was asked by AA Insurance to grade the nation's best car parks from a shortlist of 35. He admitted that it was 'love at first sight' when he drove into St James Street. "It is spacious, well-lit and adorned with beautiful red brickwork, complemented by slinky silver vertical aluminium fins that create a rippling wave effect", he enthused.
St James provides 700 spaces on four levels.
