By car
From Junction 21 of the M1, or the Leicester junction of the M69,
take the A5460 to Leicester city centre. Follow this road for
approximately four miles. Go straight through several sets of traffic
lights, and after passing under a railway bridge turn right into
Upperton Road, following signs to the universities and the Royal
Infirmary. Take the first left at the roundabout into Western
Boulevard. For Queens Building, Campus Centre and the Loading
Bay (Goods Reception) take the first right into Mill Lane. For Trinity
House, Portland Building, Hawthorn Building and Bosworth House
take the second right into The Newarke.
From the north
Leave the M1 at Junction 22 and follow the A50 to Leicester (eight
miles). When you reach the city centre turn right into Vaughan
Way (A594).
Keep in the right-hand lane through the underpass. After 200
metres, follow the road to the left into Newarke Street and keeping in
the right-hand lane, turn right into Welford Road. At the second set
of traffic lights turn right into Carlton Street.
Almost immediately turn right again into Oxford Street, moving into
left-hand lane. Take the next left into Bonners Lane, continuing
into Mill Lane.
From the east
Take the A46 or A47 to Leicester and follow signs for the city centre.
