Parking at student accommodation

If you are driving to the accommodation, the closest car park is the Fountain Park Leisure Centre, which costs £5 a day. The car park is just minutes away from our Bainfield and Orwell Terrace Accommodation sites.

If you are staying at Slateford Road and arriving on Thursday 4 September, you may wish to park at Fountain Park and then take our free coach over to Slateford Road with your personal belongings. The coach will run between Fountain Park, Bainfield, and Slateford Road on a regular basis, and a bus stop and coach times will be visible outside the cinema complex at Fountain Park.

Remember, there is no parking available directly at any of our sites. Please be considerate of our neighbours and do not park in residents’ spaces or on pavements. Edinburgh Napier University cannot take any responsibility for parking fines during key collection.
