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.

Another recommendation is to explore alternative transportation options like using public transport or walking, especially if you're visiting the busy city centre.
