Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking on the University of Leicester Campus in Clarendon Park Campus parking at the University of Leicester is permit only, so a standard visit should not be planned around finding an unreserved university bay (libraryhelp.le.ac.uk). The university’s parking portal manages permits, payments and vehicles for its own car parks (parking.le.ac.uk), while student parking is available in limited numbers at The Village in Oadby and requires a permit (shop.le.ac.uk). Freemen's multi-storey car park is available to the general public and is the university’s practical official option for visitors. Visitors attending Open Days or Offer Holder Days can park there at a reduced rate of £2.75 per day (le.ac.uk). Visitors who are not attending those events are directed to a nearby car park unless arrangements have been made in advance (libraryhelp.le.ac.uk). ## Shopping and Council Parking Near the University of Leicester Freemen's multi-storey car park is the main university-linked public facility, but drivers can also use the two public car parks on the edge of Victoria Park. Leicester’s wider city parking network also includes [NCP](https://www.parksy.com/blog/national-car-parks-ncp-united-kingdom-parking-review)’s Welford Road car park, which NCP identifies as serving De Montfort University (ncp.co.uk). The Victoria Park facilities and the NCP car park offer alternatives when campus access is restricted. Show map of St Marys ## Parksy Spaces Within Half a Mile of the Campus The closest listed option is a space at Welford Road Stadium, 0.3 mi away, priced at £14.68 an hour. It suits visitors who want a named destination near the campus. Commercial Square has secure 24/7 parking 0.4 mi away at £10 an hour, making it a useful choice for staff or students with early, late or irregular schedules. Two hotel spaces are listed 0.4 mi away: Best Western Belmont House costs £7.40 a day, while The Belmont Hotel offers 24/7 parking 0.5 mi away at £8.25 an hour. New Walk has a space 0.5 mi away at £4.50 an hour, and Stoneycroft Hotel has one at the same distance for £4.75 an hour. The New Walk and Stoneycroft options are the lower-priced hourly choices for shorter student or visitor stays, while the Belmont House daily rate suits a longer campus day. ## Busy Periods and Street Restrictions Around Mayor's Walk Open Days and Offer Holder Days are particularly important dates for drivers, because the university directs attendees to Freemen's multi-storey car park and offers event parking at £2.75 per day (le.ac.uk). The campus also attracts visitors beyond ordinary teaching days, so event arrival times can change the demand for nearby public spaces. Campus parking remains permit only, and visitors are directed to a nearby car park unless prior arrangements have been made (libraryhelp.le.ac.uk). The permit rule applies to parking on campus rather than creating a general entitlement to use surrounding streets. Drivers approaching Mayor's Walk in Clarendon Park should therefore treat university bays as controlled parking and use public facilities or a booked nearby space instead. ## Leicester Railway Station and the Walk to the Campus Leicester railway station is the nearest station to the University of Leicester, at 0.7 mi from the campus and a 15-minute walk. The station provides the clearest rail arrival point for visitors who would rather avoid driving into Clarendon Park. From the station, the walk reaches the campus at Mayor's Walk, Clarendon Park, Leicester, LE1 7RH. A rail journey followed by the 15-minute walk can be especially practical for staff, students and event visitors when campus parking is permit controlled or nearby public spaces are busy.
