Arriving by car

We encourage all visitors to avoid travelling by car to the department where possible.

Driving in the centre of Cambridge is difficult, with a medieval street pattern, complex one-way system and much traffic. Please note that Tennis Court Road is one-way northbound and must therefore be approached from Lensfield Road.

The department has a disabled parking space available for advance booking, with very limited further parking, which must be booked in advance.

There are five Park and Ride sites on the outskirts of the city (which have over 4,000 spaces and are located on main routes into Cambridge).

There are public car parks in the city, the Grand Arcade and Queen Anne Terrace car parks are the nearest to the department.
