Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Campus Parking at The Old Schools The Old Schools has no parking at its Council Room venue, according to the University of Cambridge venue page (training.cam.ac.uk). Access to the Council Room is from King's Parade through the door signposted “East Room” and “Council Room” (training.cam.ac.uk). The General Board Room listing also states that The Old Schools has no parking (training.cam.ac.uk). These official venue details mean the campus is not an option for routine student, staff or visitor parking. ## When Parking Is Hardest Around The Old Schools The Old Schools sits in central Cambridge, where demand is likely to rise when university activity brings more people into the surrounding streets. The official venue pages identify access through King's Parade for the Council Room and Trinity Lane for the General Board Room (training.cam.ac.uk), making those streets important arrival points for visitors. The official information does establish that both listed rooms have no parking (training.cam.ac.uk), so event arrivals cannot rely on spaces at the venue itself. Drivers attending a meeting or ceremony should plan for an off-campus space rather than expecting to stop at the entrance. Show map of Cambridge ## Other Car Parks Near The Old Schools Cambridge City Council publishes live availability for its multi-storey car parks, including one car park with 450 spaces and another with 223 spaces (cambridge.gov.uk). Those council facilities provide a public alternative to the campus, although the published result does not give their rates, free-period rules or walking distances to The Old Schools. The Leys directs general visitor access and parking to its Fen Causeway entrance, with all visitors required to report to Reception (theleys.net). The official university venue pages state no parking at both listed Old Schools rooms (training.cam.ac.uk). ## Parksy Spaces Near The Old Schools The closest listed Parksy option is a secure covered space at Hilton Cambridge, CB2, 0.2 mi away at £20 an hour.
