For other Cambridge car parks in or around Cambridge city centre we recommend checking the City council website via the links above. As far as free parking options, there aren’t really any in the city centre. Any free and cheap parking options would involve parking several miles away on residential streets, so we don’t really recommend these.

There are regular buses from the railway station and the nearest bus stop is Bridge Street.
