Travelling to Newcastle upon Tyne

Northumbria operates from two major campuses, one in the heart of the city (City Campus), the other in the suburbs (Coach Lane Campus), within easy reach and served by excellent public transport. This interactive map provides information about how to get to and from the University’s two campus sites.

Road Links

The public car parks at John Dobson Street, New Bridge Street, Eldon Square and Eldon Gardens are all within walking distance of the City Campus. Please note that there is no public parking available on the campus.

If entering the city from the Tyne Bridge (A167M), take the second exit off the motorway after leaving the bridge, then at the roundabout take the City Centre exit where you will come to a right turn signposted to Northumbria University. This right turn would take you into the heart of the campus, however, as there is very little public parking available, it is advisable to drive past this turning, then turn right at the next set of traffic lights into John Dobson Street where you will find a large NCP car park on the left.

If arriving in Newcastle via the Redheugh Bridge (A184), at the second major set of traffic lights on St James Boulevard, turn right into Westgate Road (A186). Travel straight on through a number of sets of traffic lights until you come to large roundabout, (if you can see Bar 55 in front of you then you are on the right road). Take the second exit off the roundabout signposted towards the A167 motorway. Do not join the motorway but continue parallel to it up to another roundabout, at which you should take the exit marked City Centre. You will quickly come to a right turn signposted Northumbria University. This right turn would take you into the heart of the campus, however, as there is very little public parking available, it is advisable to drive past this turning, then turn right at the next set of traffic lights into John Dobson Street where you will find a large NCP car park on the left.
