Residential Streets Around Radlett Walk and the Hospital
Manchester Royal Infirmary is on Radlett Walk in Ardwick, near Rusholme. The hospital parking guidance identifies Grafton Street as a car-park access point, so drivers should approach the signed hospital facilities rather than treating surrounding residential streets as overflow parking. The Grafton Street multi-storey is north of the hospital (AccessAble).
Local streets around the campus are used by residents, hospital staff and visitors, and a car left outside a marked facility can obstruct access around a busy clinical site. Blue Badge holders have a specific free-parking arrangement at Hathersage Road Multi-Storey Car Park (AccessAble), making that facility more suitable than searching for an informal street space.
