The machines accept cards only, and the parking office is open from 8.00am to 5pm (dmu.ac.uk). Drivers heading to the main car park should use postcode LE2 7DP for navigation (dmu.ac.uk). Students can buy monthly car park permits through the DMU online store, with permits released at 12:00pm on the 10th of each month (dmu.ac.uk). The permit year runs from 1 September to 31 August, with DMU parking charges set across tiers including £120 per annum, £240 per annum and £360 (dmu.ac.uk). Disabled parking spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis (dmu.ac.uk). ## When Parking Around the Campus Is Hardest Parking pressure rises around university open days, when visitors are directed towards the main car park using postcode LE2 7DP (dmu.ac.uk). The campus also sits close to De Montfort Hall, whose events can make nearby parking busy; the venue advises allowing extra time to park and obtain a ticket (demontforthall.co.uk). Students should not assume that ordinary campus parking is available for routine student use. A DMU travel document states that there is no parking on campus for students, except disabled students (nadp-uk.org). This makes permit availability and visitor arrangements especially important during teaching periods, while event traffic can add pressure beyond the university grounds. Show map of Leicester ## Other Car Parks Near De Montfort University Victoria Park is the nearest public car park identified for De Montfort Hall, just off Granville Road, with postcode LE1 7RU (demontforthall.co.uk). The venue says this car park can get very busy, particularly when events are taking place (demontforthall.co.uk). It is a useful alternative for visitors prepared to walk towards the campus and the hall. Leicester city-centre parking also includes the shopping-centre and council-operated options around the wider Leicester area, but the published local guidance here identifies Victoria Park rather than a specific free-period rule or tariff for those facilities. Drivers visiting for a university event can therefore use the Victoria Park location as the named nearby alternative, rather than treating the DMU visitor car park as the only choice. ## Parksy Spaces Near De Montfort University For students or staff needing a longer stay, a secure 24/7 covered space in Leicester LE1 is 0.2 mi away and costs £100 a month. A secure space in LE1 5TH is 284 yd away at £110 a month. A secure space at the car park on Bede Street is 0.2 mi away and costs £12 a day, making it suited to occasional campus visits. Visitors seeking hourly parking have a 24/7 space at Hilton Leicester in LE19, 0.2 mi away at £5 an hour, or a space at ODEON Luxe Leicester in LE2, also 0.2 mi away, at £0.80 an hour. The Parks Medical Centre offers another 0.2 mi option at £3.80 a day. The monthly spaces suit regular staff or students, while the daily and hourly listings fit visitors and shorter stays. ## Rail and Walking Access to De Montfort University Leicester railway station is the nearest station, 0.7 mi from the campus and a 14 min walk.
