## Parking at Varndean College

Varndean College, at 100 Surrenden Road in Withdean, does not provide student car parking on site, while limited surrounding street parking is subject to restrictions (varndean.ac.uk). The college map labels a car park, but the college’s visitor guidance says on-site parking is reserved for staff, so visitors should not treat the campus car park as general parking (varndean.ac.uk).

Adult-education students must not park on college grounds before 5pm, and free street parking is available after 3pm, subject to the new Surrenden Road area restrictions (varndean.ac.uk). Visitors can drop off at the college before parking elsewhere, as the events guidance confirms that there is no on-site visitor parking (varndean.ac.uk). The college does not publish a general visitor rate or an official third-party car-park operator for campus parking.

## The Busiest Times Around Surrenden Road

Parking pressure is greatest during college term-time arrival and departure periods, when staff, students and visitors compete for the limited surrounding street spaces. The college’s adult-education guidance specifically separates parking before and after 3pm, with free street parking available after 3pm (varndean.ac.uk).

New parking, waiting and loading restrictions outside Varndean College were proposed alongside road buildouts, changing how drivers can stop on Surrenden Road (theargus.co.uk). Street restrictions also apply in the surrounding area, so a space near the gates is not automatically suitable for parking (varndean.ac.uk).

## Other Car Parks Near Varndean and Withdean

The nearby Parksy choices provide alternatives to the college grounds when surrounding street parking is restricted. Three priced spaces are 0.2 mi away: an affordable space near South Downs Health at £5.70 a day, an EV space at Elwyn Jones Clinic at £5.70 a day, and a secure driveway in Brighton, East Sussex at £12 a day.

These are private spaces rather than council or shopping-centre car parks, so they are more useful when a bookable alternative is preferable to circulating around Surrenden Road. The college’s own guidance confirms that surrounding street parking is limited and restricted (varndean.ac.uk).

## Parksy Spaces for Varndean Journeys

Students looking for a lower daily cost have two 0.2 mi options at £5.70 a day: the space near South Downs Health and the EV space at Elwyn Jones Clinic. The EV option suits a driver who needs charging-compatible parking, while either daily space can work for a full college day.

Staff may prefer one of the two secure driveways 0.2 mi away, each priced at £12 a day, for a more sheltered alternative to competing for restricted street parking. Visitors attending an event can use the £3-a-day Aldrington Avenue space 0.2 mi away, while the covered Hereford Court space offers 24/7 access at £31.25 an hour. The priced Parksy spaces are all listed at 0.2 mi from the campus, keeping them within a short walk of the college.

## Walking and Rail Access to Varndean College

Preston Park railway station is the nearest station to Varndean College, at 0.6 mi from the campus and a 13-minute walk. The station provides a practical option for students, staff and visitors who would rather avoid the restricted parking around 100 Surrenden Road.

From Preston Park, the walk to the campus takes 13 minutes, making rail travel particularly useful during open days and scheduled events when visitor parking is unavailable on site (varndean.ac.uk). The college’s address is 100 Surrenden Road, Withdean, Brighton, BN1 6WB, so drivers using a Parksy space can combine a short local walk with the wider rail connection through Preston Park.
