To find the best route to the car park, please follow the directions below as submitted by the parking attendants who will be there to greet you as you arrive:
Directions
Please follow the directions to the car park and not just depend on finding it by using the postcode.
Leave M4 at junction 29 (signposted Cardiff (E&S) / A48(M)).
Follow A48 for 7.5 miles (BE AWARE there is a speed camera where speed reduces to 40mph), leaving at 5th exit signposted Cardiff City Centre, Cardiff University.
Move over to left hand lane on slip road and take 2nd exit off roundabout (signposted City Centre).
Be aware there is a speed camera very soon on this road.
Go through three proper sets of traffic lights. When you pass through the third set of lights, you then pass three white stone buildings on the left hand side. Turn into the Bute Building /Glamorgan Building parking after these buildings.
Our staff will be here in hi-vis to greet and guide you.
IMPORTANT: Please ensure you put the correct registration number in during checkout. If you need to change it in future, simply contact us by email. Failure to do so may result in parking fines.
