Pedestrian access to Queens' during the redevelopment of the Round
The Porters' Lodge has been transferred from its former location at the east end of Fisher building to temporary accommodation in the Portakabin outside W staircase, just inside the entry gates in Fisher Drive. Pedestrian entry/exit to College is via W staircase arch. The Porter on duty can then provide directions. Please note that it will not be possible to cross the Round to the bridge or to Cripps Court from the east end of Fisher Building.
Disabled Parking A limited number of parking places, (usually 10 spaces) for Disabled Badge Holders, are secured for each Alumni event. Entry into College is via Fisher Drive. Please report to the Porters' Lodge on arrival so that they may direct you to the parking area and always display your Disabled Badge. Parking option at the Sidgwick Site Alternatively, we have secured free parking at the Sidgwick site on Sidgwick Avenue, approximately 10 minutes walk from College. We will be running a shuttle bus from the site to College from 9.00am until 10.40am and to return to the site from 2.30pm until 3.30pm for those who do not wish to walk.
