Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking at University of Portsmouth Library on Cambridge Road University of Portsmouth Library is on Cambridge Road in Old Portsmouth, Portsmouth, PO1 2ST. The university’s directions advise that vehicles can be parked for up to 15 hours, provided they are not left during permit hours, with charges applying according to the displayed parking information (port.ac.uk). For drivers with a parking permit, the metered zones surrounding the library can be used all day without charge, while double yellow lines can be used for a maximum of three hours (library.port.ac.uk). This makes the surrounding streets the closest documented option for eligible permit holders, but the double-yellow allowance is specifically limited to three hours. ## Busy City-Centre Parking Around the Portsmouth Library Drivers visiting during busy study, shopping or city-centre periods should expect the closest spaces to be under pressure rather than relying on an open bay immediately outside the site. University car parks are open to the general public, as well as staff and students without permits, outside permit hours from 4.00pm to 7.00am Monday to Friday and at any time at weekends (port.ac.uk). Street parking around the library therefore needs particular care: permit-hour restrictions affect access to university car parks, while permit holders have the separate metered-zone and double-yellow permissions described by the library service (library.port.ac.uk). Show map of Portsmouth ## Named Alternatives Near University of Portsmouth Library Portsmouth’s city-centre parking includes several alternatives to the streets around the library. The university’s directions point drivers towards signed city parking, while the university’s parking guidance describes public car parks and limited on-street parking as available for a small charge (myport.port.ac.uk). University car parks are another named category of option because they are open to the general public outside permit hours, from 4.00pm to 7.00am Monday to Friday and at any time at weekends (port.ac.uk). For a daytime visit, the public and limited on-street spaces can fill quickly, so arriving outside the busiest city-centre periods is more practical than assuming a university bay will be available. ## Parksy Spaces Close to the Portsmouth Library Parksy lists six nearby spaces around the site, including four hourly or daily choices and one monthly option. A driveway space in Southsea near the Ibis Portsmouth Centre is 0.2 miles away at £4.50 an hour, while a space on Britain Street is 0.3 miles away at £1 an hour. A space at the Dr J Singh Centre in North End is 0.3 miles away at £4 a day. A space at Holiday Inn Fareham - Solent in Titchfield is also listed 0.3 miles away at £4.20 an hour. Further options include underground parking in Portsmouth, PO1 3TZ, 0.4 miles away at £28 a day, and [monthly parking](https://www.parksy.com/blog/find-monthly-parking-near-me-practical-guide) at Gunwharf Quays, 0.4 miles away at £32 a month. ## Walking From Portsmouth and Southsea and Portsmouth Harbour Stations Portsmouth and Southsea railway station is the nearest station to University of Portsmouth Library, at 0.5 miles away and a 10-minute walk. This is a practical rail option for visitors who want to avoid city-centre parking, with the station positioned within walking distance of the Cambridge Road address.

Both stations provide access to the library without needing a parking space, while drivers can combine a nearby Parksy booking with the final walk where a central bay is more convenient than searching the surrounding streets.
