Bike

It’s easy to cycle between the Village and main campus. There’s a cycle lane most of the way and the journey only takes about 15 minutes. You can park your bike in the underground bike store next to the library and in the bike racks at the Village.

Car

The Village has limited parking, but if you bring your car with you'll need to apply for a permit and pay a fee of £24. It’s worth bearing in mind that there is no student parking on campus, so you may want to consider other options for travelling to lectures.

If you don't have your own bike, you can hire one from a new city-wide 'Boris-bike'-style scheme which is scheduled to launch in autumn 2019.
