The attraction’s visitor information lists 470 spaces, making it the most substantial named option in the immediate area (kriii.com). Newarke Street Car Park opens from 6:30am until 1am, which covers early arrivals, daytime museum visits and evening returns (kriii.com). Free blue badge parking is available there, providing a practical choice for eligible visitors who need accessible parking close to the site (kriii.com). The visitor centre is at 4A St Martins, so Newarke Street is a city-centre option rather than parking directly at the museum entrance. ## Parksy Spaces Within 0.2 Miles of KRIVC Parksy lists a covered, lighted garage space 297 yards away at £3.50 an hour. A space near Leicester Medical School is 324 yards away and costs £4.10 a day, while a parking space at The Parks Medical Centre is 0.2 miles away at £3.80 a day. Other priced listings include 24/7 parking at Hilton Leicester, LE19, 0.2 miles away at £5 an hour, and secure parking at ODEON Luxe Leicester, LE2, also 0.2 miles away at £0.80 an hour. A secure rental space in LE1 5TH is 0.2 miles away and costs £110 a month. The listings cover hourly, daily and monthly arrangements, so the best match depends on how long the visit lasts. The garage space suits drivers wanting covered parking, while the daily listings provide a fixed price for a longer daytime stay. Show map of Leicester ## City-Centre Arrival and Busy Periods Around St Martins The museum sits in Leicester city centre at 4A St Martins, where demand can rise during busy visitor periods. The site advises that limited on-street parking for coaches is available in the city centre and that coach spaces should be booked through Visit Leicester (kriii.com). For a standard car, the nearby off-street options are more suitable than relying on limited kerbside space. Newarke Street Car Park is open from 6:30am to 1am, giving drivers a defined arrival and departure window for a visit to KRIVC (kriii.com). ## Other Named Parking Choices Near the Museum Newarke Street Car Park is the named public parking facility promoted for visitors, and it is also known as Sue Townsend Theatre Car Park. Its 470-space layout gives it more capacity than a small central street space, while free blue badge parking supports accessible visits (kriii.com). The attraction’s access information also identifies Newarke Street Car Park as the relevant nearby facility for visitors arriving by car. Coach parking is treated separately, with limited on-street city-centre spaces arranged through Visit Leicester rather than through the car park (kriii.com). ## Walking From Leicester Railway Station to KRIVC Leicester Central railway station is the nearest station listed for the King Richard III Visitor Centre, at 0.5 miles and an 11-minute walk. This makes rail a straightforward alternative when city-centre parking is busy, with the final approach on foot to 4A St Martins. Leicester railway station is also approximately an 11-minute walk from the site. Both station references point to a short walk for visitors arriving by train, avoiding the need to find a separate central parking space.
