By car
Public carparks
(click links for more information)
The nearest public car park is on Rosefield Street. This is a small, surface carpark, very close to the college, but one that fills up quite quickly. Following on from that you might look at Bedford Street (medium sized outdoor), or St Peters, which is a large multistorey, which always has spaces, and is still only a short walk from the college.
The Royal Priors is also nearby, and is situated underneath a smart, undercover shopping centre (if you fancy a bit of shopping while you are in town).
A full list of the parking available in town is available by clicking on this link.
On street parking
On-street parking immediately by the college is metred and only available for 2 hours, with no return for 2 or 4 hours which isn't ideal. If you are keen on finding free parking though, some might be available on these streets and roads, although generally speaking you will need to be parked early in the day for these to work:
-
One end of Newbold Terrace is free (the section without parking meters, located closest to Willes Road)
-
Willes Road, near the park
-
Newbold Terrace East
-
One end of Leam Terrace is free (the sectionon the other side of Willes Road, again without parking meters, moving away from town)
-
Lillington Road, Russell Terrace, and many other residential roads close to us e.g. Campion Road
Parking restrictions do change however, so please make sure that resident permits aren't required, and let us know if you find the information here to be no longer accurate.
