Leicester College Campus Parking
Leicester College is at 17 Lower Willow Street, Leicester, LE1 2HP, near Belgrave. The campus car parks include disabled parking, but access is restricted during term time: up to 3pm, spaces are for staff and visitors only (leicestercollege.ac.uk). Students cannot park on any campus, while Blue Badge holders, visitors and staff are permitted (leicestercollege.ac.uk).
Visitors can request a parking reservation through the college’s campus information (leicestercollege.ac.uk).
When Parking Around the Leicester Campus Is Hardest
A student arriving for a daytime class cannot use the college car park, even when a space appears to be free.
The college’s parking rule covers all campuses and limits campus parking to Blue Badge holders, visitors and staff, with no student parking (leicestercollege.ac.uk). The published campus pages do not give event or open-day dates, so the practical distinction for drivers is between a pre-arranged visitor space and public parking away from the campus.
Other Car Parks Near Leicester College
NCP lists centrally located car parks in Leicester and presents them as public parking options in the city (ncp.co.uk). These are separate from the college campus and suit drivers who need a central base before continuing on foot.
Victoria Park has two public car parks on its edge, with separate entrances next to one another; both operate as Pay and Display (pgcecourseinfo.le.ac.uk). The source does not state a tariff or free parking period for these car parks, so they are best treated as pay-and-display facilities rather than free short-stay parking.

For a short visit, a commercial garage space in Leicester city centre is 0.3 mi away at £1 an hour. A Humberstone Road space is 0.5 mi away and costs £36 a week, making it a practical option for a student or staff member attending regularly.
