Parking at Cardiff University - Roy Jenkins Hall
Roy Jenkins Hall has 14 on-site car-parking spaces, according to Cardiff University’s accommodation page (cardiff.ac.uk). The university describes the residence as a small hall with car parking, and lists accommodation from £143.64 per week (cardiff.ac.uk). For a resident, the practical starting point is the university’s permit process rather than relying on an unreserved bay.
Cardiff University says only a limited number of parking permits are available for each hall of residence, with Roy Jenkins Hall included among the halls covered by its new-student parking-permit guidance (cardiff.ac.uk). AccessAble records on-site parking at the rear of the property for permit holders and says parking bays are not available there (accessable.co.uk). The address is 67 Crwys Road, Maindy, Cardiff, CF24 4NP.
Shopping and Council Parking Near Crwys Road
Crwys Road places the hall near local shops, and the university describes Roy Jenkins Hall as being close to local shops (cardiff.ac.uk). The Co-op opposite the hall is identified in student accommodation information, making it a useful nearby stop for groceries, although its parking terms are not the same as university residence parking (thestudentroom.co.uk).
For a non-resident visit, council-managed parking elsewhere in Cardiff may be more suitable than trying to use the residence bays. Cardiff University’s visitor map lists Maindy Road, Cathays, CF24 4HQ, as a university location near Roy Jenkins Hall (cardiff.ac.uk). The surrounding streets should therefore be treated as ordinary city parking rather than an extension of the hall’s permit area, particularly when visiting staff, contractors or guests need to leave a car for longer.
