It takes less than 10 minutes to travel by taxi from Leicester city centre or Leicester train station. It is equally quick to travel from many areas in the south of Leicester. From the north of the city or further afield it may take 15-20 minutes.
For dropping-off and picking-up, the car parks in the immediate vicinity of the stadium usually only permit paying long-stay customers on match days. Instead, the network of residential roads immediately to the west and south of the ground may be better a option, provided due care is given to residents. Another option is the Freemans Park cinema and supermarket complex on Aylestone Road/Welford Road, which is adjacent to the stadium; it is just a 500 m (6 min) walk away.
Park and ride
Leicester's park and ride service provides a good option for drivers who do not wish to navigate busy city centre traffic on match days. The park and ride service operates from Enderby Park And Ride car park (LE19 2AB), and runs every 15 minutes, Monday-Saturday 07:00-19:00. It takes approximately 10-15 minutes to make the journey to the stadium.
