Set your Satnav to our postcode LE1 1RE, or to LE1 1TQ to find the NCP Rutland Centre car park in Halford Street (see Parking below).

Driving

Rutland Street is in Leicester’s Cultural Quarter, just inside the east edge of the inner ring road, the A594 St George’s Way

(A) From the St George’s Retail Park roundabout where the inner ring road meets the A47 , turn into Humberstone Gate, carry on until Sainsbury’s is on your right then turn left into Yeoman Street between The Old Black Lion pub and Subway. [If you miss this turn, just carry on up to the lights and turn left into Charles Street between the green Cash Shop on your left and the Tegtat Turkish bakery & coffee shop on your right, then turn left into Yeoman Lane – see next paragraph]. 

Yeoman Street runs into Halford Street where you turn left (only) and then immediately right into Wigston Street (past Manhattan cafe/bar on your left) to Rutland Street and our main entrance in front of you. You can’t park here but you can try a nifty reverse and drop off/pick up.

[There are now bollards across the road that stop vehicle traffic from going beyond the NCP car park and past Curve and round past Orton Square.]

(B) If you’re driving south along Charles Street, away from the Haymarket Bus Station towards the train station, there’s no left turn into Rutland Street – you need to turn left two streets before that into the narrow, easy-to-miss Yeoman Lane between Everyday Loans (the grey, 14-floor tower block – the tallest on Charles Street) and William Hill, turn right at the end into Yeoman Street, follow the road round to the left into Halford Street then

(1) drive up to the NCP car park on your left just before Curve to park there, or 

(2) turn immediately right into Wigston Street and up to Rutland Street to our main entrance in front of you (for quick drop-off or pickup, reverse niftily back along Rutland Street); or to get to our rear courtyard sweep right past our main entrance on your left and turn left before the lights into Colton Street  to get to our rear courtyard gates 30m along on your left

(C) From the south go past the train station on London Road (A6) on your right and turn left just past the Art-Deco Blunts Shoes building into Charles Street. At the lights filter right and turn into Rutland Street, (between The Ale Wagon pub and Taylors’s Property Services), then

(1) To park in the NCP Rutland Centre, take the first left turn into Yeoman Street and turn right into Halford Street – you’ll see the yellow NCP car park entrance on your left. Once parked, come back across Wigston Street to our main entrance; or

(2) To get to our rear courtyard gates, turn immediately right from Rutland Street after 10 metres, round past the Ale Wagon into the one-way Colton Street.  Call 0116 261 6800 when you arrive to ask us to open the gates for you. Please park carefully.

Check local roadworks, closures and incidents at Leicester Roadworks and BBC Leicester.

Turn right out of the station onto London Road and at the Pelican crossing go over St Georges Way into Granby Street – the art-deco Blunts Shoes building is on your right. Just past the Mercure Grand Hotel on your left, turn right into Rutland Street between Tesco Express and Ladbrokes and cross over Charles Street. (The 5-storey, cream-coloured City Hall, home of Leicester City Council, is on your left). Carry on along Rutland Street past the side of the Ale Wagon pub (Johals letting agency is on the opposite corner) and across the end of Colton Street, towards the former 1930s Odeon cinema that’s now Athena – we’re before you get to Athena, on the right, with big orange perspex cubes above our sliding glass door at number 31.

Park & Ride:
