Travel advice

Information for planning your journey to an open day. We recommend travelling by public transport where possible.

Parking

There will be free on-campus parking available, but parking on campus is limited, so we recommend using public transport where possible. There will be signs close to campus to direct you.

  • For veterinary courses: Head towards our Manor Park campus and use the Manor Park car park next to the Bright Horizon's nursery. Postcode is GU2 7XU.
  • For health sciences and medicine courses: Go to the Kate Granger building on Manor Park campus. Postcode is GU2 7YH.
  • For all other courses: Head to our Stag Hill campus to use our main car park. Postcode is GU2 7XH.

Our car parks are usually full by mid-morning, but there are additional pay and display car parks close to campus. Please refer to our open day parking map (PDF) for car park locations, as well as walking routes.

Please note: open day car parking is not available in the Surrey Sports Park car park, at the Research Park or Royal Surrey Hospital. These car parks are for limited stay only and are camera-controlled.

Parking for disabled visitors

If you need a disabled parking space, please ask a parking marshal when you arrive at our car parks. They'll then direct you to the most suitable place to park. There is no need to pre-book this parking.
