Our Birmingham city centre location means there is high demand for visitor parking on campus. We regret that parking is not available on campus itself for open days and other day-time events. Please contact the person organising your visit or event if you require a disabled car parking space or to see if any individual spaces are available.
There are alternative pay car parks nearby within 5 minutes walk of the campus. We also recommend that visitors use public transport where possible, as Birmingham city centre is within easy reach of many parts of the UK and the region.
Millennium Point/Think-Tank Museum and Curzon Street car parks
The Millennium Point/Think-Tank Museum and the Curzon Street car parks are approximately five minutes walk from Aston University, and are marked on our campus map.
How to walk to campus from the car parks
To reach campus from the Millennium Point/Curzon Street car park, walk back up the slope towards the University to the right of Millennium Point building and cross Jennens Road using the pedestrian crossing. Turn left and then through a gate immediately to your right - you are now on campus. Follow the campus map (PDF) and signs for the Aston University Main Building about 200 metres away straight ahead across the campus. The Main University reception is here.
