Travel and Directions to Walkers Stadium

Directions to Walkers Stadium by Car

Getting lost is quite easy!

If you get lost don't try asking the locals, of all 6 or 7 we asked none of them knew where the stadium was. If you find yourself lost in the City Centre follow the Central Ring Road and signs for the Royal Infirmary (Hospital), continue forward past the Royal Infirmary, you'll go past the Leicester Tigers Rugby Ground (Filbert Street), continue straight and you'll some to some traffic lights, the ground is then sign posted from there, anywhere else in the City the ground is very poorly sign posted and you'll be driving around for ages.

From North & South - The M1 & M69 motorways interchange at junction 21 where you should exit and follow signs for the "City Centre" via the A5460. After approximately 3 miles turn right onto Upperton Road, go over the bridge and take the first right into Western Boulevard and you will see the Walkers Stadium on your right hand side.

Walkers Stadium Parking

British Gas parking

As you go down the hill past the Odeon Cinema turn left at the traffic lights and follow the road till you get to a turning on your right into the British Gas facilities, take the turning and then take the first left. Good sized car park there for £3. About a 5 minute walk from the stadium.

The Leicester Rugby Club is your best bet for parking when attending The Walkers Stadium, there is street parking available but local traffic wardens are very strict, if you go past the stadium to a small roundabout and turn left you enter an industrial area which has quite a few independent car parks all in large garages, these cost no more than £5 and are secure.

Free Coffee when Parking

Limited parking is available at the Holiday Inn next to the ground for £5 and that includes a 2-for-1 coffee offer after the game which is handy because the barriers don't open until 20 minutes after the game and then you'll be sitting in a queue for ages. Other car parks at the ground need reservations but there are a few lock-up style car parks in the area and the town car parks are a 20 minute walk away although we didn't check them out on this trip.
