Cycle
Cycling – both around campus and into Guildford – is very easy and the transport of choice for many students.
Bike storage on campus
The University campus has plenty of cycle racks, including one in each court of residence. Some racks are lockable with a key that you can borrow.
Bike storage in Guildford
In Guildford, there are cycle racks at the railway station and around the town centre, close to the shops.
Car
There are very limited spaces and therefore, car parking is not available at the University for most students.
Parking permits
For more information about eligibility and applying for a permit, visit our dedicated parking page. Please be aware that the issue of a permit does not guarantee a space – there are no permit refunds if the car park is full.
