Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking Beside Leicester Central Library on Newarke Street Leicester Central Library is at 12 Bishop Street, Saint Matthew's, Leicester, LE1 6AF. The library's own visitor information points drivers towards a large multi-storey car park on Newarke Street, with limited on-street pay and display parking in the surrounding streets (libraries.leicester.gov.uk). The Newarke Street option is the most clearly identified nearby facility for a visit to the site, while the surrounding pay-and-display bays may suit a short stop when a space is available. The library sits just off Town Hall Square, so Newarke Street provides a practical approach for drivers heading into the central area (libraries.leicester.gov.uk). ## Parksy Spaces Within 0.2 Miles of the Library Parksy lists an affordable space at The Parks Medical Centre, 238 yards away, priced at £3.80 a day. A secure space at ODEON Luxe Leicester in LE2 is also 238 yards away and costs £0.80 an hour. Duke Street has a secure parking space 312 yards away for £100 a month and a secure covered space at the same distance for £100 a week. A further secure space in Leicester, LE1 5TH, is 0.2 miles away and costs £110 a month. These choices cover short visits, regular weekday parking and longer-term arrangements around the central library. Show map of Leicester ## Other Named Parking Around the Central Library The Newarke Street multi-storey car park is the named alternative to the library's surrounding on-street bays, and Leicester Central Library identifies it as a large facility for visitors (libraries.leicester.gov.uk). Its position makes it the principal council-highlighted car park for reaching the central library without relying on a single street-side bay. Limited on-street pay and display parking is available in the streets around the site (libraries.leicester.gov.uk). These spaces are useful for drivers making a brief stop, but the official description characterises supply as limited, so the Newarke Street multi-storey car park is the stronger named option for a planned visit. ## Busy Times and Street Parking Around Bishop Street Parking pressure is likely to be greatest when central Leicester is busiest, because the library is just off Town Hall Square and the surrounding streets have limited pay-and-display parking (libraries.leicester.gov.uk). On-street parking around Leicester Central Library is pay and display rather than unrestricted [free parking](https://www.parksy.com/parking-near-me), according to the library's transport information (libraries.leicester.gov.uk). Drivers using a surrounding street should follow the bay's displayed conditions, while the Newarke Street multi-storey car park avoids depending on a limited kerbside space. ## Walking From Leicester Railway Station to the Library Leicester railway station is the nearest station, 0.4 miles from Leicester Central Library, with an eight-minute walk to the site. This makes rail a practical alternative when central parking is busy. Leicester Central railway station is about a 14-minute walk away, while Humberstone Road railway station is about a 19-minute walk away. The station choices give visitors alternatives to driving into the central streets, with Leicester railway station offering the shortest listed walk.
