How to get there

Walking

The University campus is a pleasant 20-minute walk from Leeds city station. Just follow the directions below and you'll be with us in n­o time at all:

Come out of the station into City square; with the Queens Hotel behind you, walk straight up Park Row. Continue up Park Row until the first major junction. Cross straight over The Headrow and continue up Cookridge Street. At the next set of lights go straight on passing Millennium Square on your left and Leeds City Museum on your right.

Turn left on to Woodhouse Lane, a busy main road. You'll pass Leeds Beckett University on your left and our University campus begins in another 50 metres or so, on your left. To reach the Parkinson building, carry on up Woodhouse Lane to the clock tower building. You'll be able to look at a map of campus there and plan where to go next.

Leeds is linked to the M1 and M62. Parking on campus is limited, and we are also committed to reducing our carbon emissions, so we encourage staff and visitors to walk or cycle where possible.

To avoid disappointment, visitor parking during core hours (7am to 5pm Monday to Friday), must be pre-booked by a University staff member, and costs £7 for the day. You will need to contact the department you're visiting to book a space. If your parking is chargeable you'll be issued a code so you can pay at the end of your stay. Find directions to our car parks

Outside core parking hours the orange zone visitor car parks are open to the public, and you can pay at a pay station before you leave. Find out about our parking tariffs

Blue badge spaces are located throughout the visitors' car parks. Our map of the visitor car parks includes the location of accessible bays. Blue badge holders are not exempt from payment for parking.

If you are travelling to Leeds by car you can use and would like to avoid parking in the city centre, you can use park and ride

There are sites at Elland Road and Temple Green, providing easy access by bus into the centre of Leeds.
