Car parking

We recommend you travel to Viewing Day by public transport as on campus parking is limited and available only on a first come first served basis. Limited parking is available in the University car park (charges incurred). When returning to your car, you'll need to pay using one of the payment machines. These can be found in either the multi-storey car park, outside the Marjorie & Arnold Ziff Building or by The Edge Sports Centre. Please note that the University uses ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) and failure to pay may result in parking penalties. Find out more about parking on campus. Pay and display parking is also available at Woodhouse Lane Multi-Storey (LS1 3HQ) which is an easy 10-minute walk from campus.

The table below details some city centre car parks. Please remember that those closest to the University are likely to be the busiest.
