Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Grand Arcade Car Park for Lion Yard Visits It has 341 spaces and is open Monday to Sunday, 24 hours a day (cambridge.gov.uk). The Lion Yard centre information page gives a larger total of 944 spaces for Grand Arcade, including 36 blue badge spaces across the upper and lower car park, plus 9 parent and child spaces (thelionyard.co.uk). There are entrances from Corn Exchange Street, with Grand Arcade serving the shopping centre and the surrounding central Cambridge streets. The council publishes a tariff with a day rate and periods including up to 1 hour, although the supplied tariff extract does not include the amounts for those periods (cambridge.gov.uk). Drivers who need a full-day stay can use the car park's round-the-clock opening rather than planning around a closing time. ## Parksy Spaces Within 0.5 Miles of Lion Yard Parksy lists a secure covered space at Hilton Cambridge, 173 yards away, priced at £20 an hour. A space near University Arms is 184 yards away at £7.30 an hour, while a monthly space in King's Hedges is also listed at 184 yards for £29 a month. The Hilton option suits a short premium stay, whereas the University Arms space is the lower hourly choice among these nearby listings. A space at DoubleTree Cambridge City Centre is 211 yards away and costs £13.20 a day. The day and week options beat an hourly centre tariff for longer visits when their booking period matches the planned stay, while the monthly King's Hedges listing is aimed at repeated parking rather than a single shopping trip. Show map of Cambridge ## Weekend Demand and Parking Rules Around Lion Grand Arcade is open throughout weekends because its listed opening hours are Monday to Sunday, 24 hours a day (cambridge.gov.uk). The centre's directions page says overnight parking is not permitted at any Cambridge Park & Ride site, and all sites have height barriers except Babraham Road (thelionyard.co.uk). Those rules make Park & Ride unsuitable for leaving a vehicle overnight and relevant to drivers considering a longer central visit. Weekend shopping and major city-centre events are the times when checking live availability before setting off is most useful. The centre's own information also identifies blue badge and parent-and-child provision within Grand Arcade (thelionyard.co.uk). ## Other Named Car Parks Near Lion Yard Grand Arcade is the named multi-storey facility associated with the centre, with its entrance address on Corn Exchange Street, Cambridge CB2 3QF (cambridge.gov.uk). Park & Ride costs £4 for one day and parking is free, with up to three children travelling free (grandarcade.co.uk). The Park & Ride sites are alternatives for drivers who prefer to leave the car outside the centre and continue by bus. Overnight parking is not permitted at any of the sites, and all have height barriers except Babraham Road (thelionyard.co.uk). These named facilities are most useful when a central multi-storey car park is busy or when a driver wants a transport-linked approach rather than a space beside the shops. ## Walking From Cambridge Railway Station to Lion Yard Cambridge railway station is the nearest station listed for the centre. It is 1.0 mile away, with a 21-minute walk to 33a Lion Yard, Cambridge, CB2 3NA. From the station, the walk reaches the central shopping area on foot rather than requiring a separate parking stop. The published station distance and walking time provide a clear comparison with the nearby Parksy spaces, which are between 173 yards and 0.5 miles from the centre. Visitors carrying shopping may prefer a booked space closer to the centre, while commuters can avoid central parking altogether by using the railway station.
