Paper permits are issued for non-barrier car parks, while a University card is programmed for access at other locations (building-estate-services.eng.cam.ac.uk). Drivers with a legitimate campus need should arrange the relevant permit before arriving at Master's Garden. Visitor parking is available through bookable spaces rather than a general visitor rate. The main Trumpington Street site has 6 bookable visitor spaces and 2 bookable staff spaces, while West Cambridge has 5 bookable spaces (help.eng.cam.ac.uk). Central-sites parking is free for all users, but standard parking there is limited to 15 minutes (accessable.co.uk). That short stay is more suitable for a quick drop-off than a lecture, meeting or full working day. ## Parksy Parking Spaces Around Master's Garden For a regular student or staff commute, the secure monthly space in King's Hedges is 0.2 mi away at £29 a month. The £75-a-week space on Chesterton Road is 0.6 mi away and suits a longer weekly stay. Both are better matched to repeated campus visits than paying an hourly rate for each day. Visitors needing a shorter stay can choose the space near University Arms, 0.2 mi away at £7.30 an hour, or covered parking at Hilton Cambridge, 0.3 mi away at £20 an hour. These options suit visitors who want a bookable space near the central colleges without relying on a University permit. Show map of Cambridge ## Busy Periods and Street Restrictions Near the Cambridge Campus Parking pressure is greatest around term-time teaching and during University events, when students, staff and visitors arrive at the same time. The campus is in Cambridge centre, only 202 yd from the centre, so ordinary city activity adds to demand during busy periods. Street parking should not be treated as a dependable alternative around the colleges. Central-sites parking signs are clearly presented, and standard parking at that location is limited to 15 minutes (accessable.co.uk). Those restrictions make a brief arrival possible but do not provide a practical option for a full lecture, meeting or open-day visit. ## Queen Anne Terrace and Other Cambridge Car Parks Queen Anne Terrace car park is a council facility about a 15-minute walk from Cambridge city centre (cambridge.gov.uk). [NCP](https://www.parksy.com/blog/national-car-parks-ncp-united-kingdom-parking-review) also lists local car parking in Cambridge and promotes season tickets for regular users (ncp.co.uk). A season-ticket approach is more relevant to staff or students making repeated journeys than to a one-off visitor, while Queen Anne Terrace is positioned for city-centre access and events around Parker's Piece. ## Cambridge Railway Station to Master's Garden Cambridge railway station is the nearest station listed for Master's Garden, at 1.3 mi away and a 26-minute walk. The route is therefore workable for visitors who prefer to leave the car outside the central area, but the walking time is significant for anyone carrying luggage or travelling to a timed meeting. Master's Garden is 202 yd from Cambridge centre, placing the campus within the central walking network once you reach the city. The station journey remains the clearest car-free approach for rail travellers.
