Daily users of the student and visitor car parks pay £1 for up to 5 hours or £2 for any period over 5 hours (southwales.ac.uk). This makes the official campus option useful for shorter classes, appointments and visits, provided you are using a student or visitor facility. USW issues parking permits through its parking service, including a student 9-month permit for £135, a six-month permit for £90 and a one-month permit for £15 (southwales.ac.uk). The university's ANPR system operates at Llantwit Road, Sports Park, Glyntaff Upper and Glyntaff Lower car parks (southwales.ac.uk), while Trust Parking is used for payment at the Treforest Llantwit Road and Glyntaff car parks (southwales.ac.uk). Those locations are separate from the Cardiff Atrium, so Cardiff drivers should distinguish the campus address from the university's wider parking network. ## Cardiff City-Centre Car Parks Near the Atrium Several non-campus facilities serve the short walk between the Atrium and central Cardiff. The university lists Pellett Street car park at £5 for 6 hours and £6 for 12 hours, while Knox Road car park is £4 for 6 hours and £6 for 12 hours (southwales.ac.uk). These council or city-centre options suit staff and visitors who need a longer daytime stay than a quick campus visit. Dumfries Place is also included in the university's Cardiff staff-travel parking information (southwales.ac.uk). Capitol Shopping Centre has a covered Parksy space 0.2 mi from the Atrium at £11 an hour, and a Marriott Cardiff car-park space is 0.2 mi away at £6.60 an hour. The shopping-centre and hotel options are practical for visitors approaching from central Cardiff, although their hourly pricing is better suited to shorter stays than regular term-time parking. Show map of Cardiff ## Parksy Spaces Close to the USW Cardiff Campus For students or staff seeking a regular base, Parksy lists secure [monthly parking](https://www.parksy.com/blog/find-monthly-parking-near-me-practical-guide) in Cardiff city centre 241 yd from the Atrium at £87 a month, plus secure covered parking on Bute Terrace 0.2 mi away at £90 a month. Monthly spaces are the natural fit for people attending the campus repeatedly, since they avoid arranging a separate daily stay for each lecture or shift. A covered driveway space on Davis Street, Cardiff CF24, is 283 yd away at £9.25 an hour, while a secure 24/7 commercial garage is 302 yd away at £2.70 an hour. The lower hourly rate makes the garage the most economical of these hourly listings for a longer visit, while the Davis Street space is closer to the campus than the two 0.2 mi options. The covered Capitol Shopping Centre space and Marriott Cardiff car-park space are also available for visitors who prefer central facilities. ## Busy Parking Periods Around Adamsdown and the Atrium Parking pressure is greatest when lectures, staff shifts and visitor appointments overlap during university term time. A monthly Parksy space is therefore more suitable for regular staff or students than relying on an hourly bay on every busy day. Drivers should also account for restrictions on surrounding streets rather than treating nearby kerbs as spare parking. The university's Cardiff travel information identifies Pellett Street, Knox Road and Dumfries Place within its staff-parking information (southwales.ac.uk), and the campus sits in the built-up Adamsdown area. The official student and visitor tariff applies to designated university car parks, not automatically to surrounding streets, so the campus car parks and listed off-campus facilities are the relevant choices for open-day and event visits. ## Walking and Rail Access to the Cardiff Atrium Cardiff Queen Street railway station is the nearest station to the Atrium, at 307 yd and a 4-minute walk. Cardiff Central railway station is about a 10-minute walk from the campus, while Cardiff Bay railway station is about a 17-minute walk. The Parksy spaces between 241 yd and 0.2 mi from the Atrium are also close enough to combine with a short walk to the campus entrance.
