Duke St has lots of designated parking places which require a “Pay And Display” ticket which are inexpensive. The street is patrolled regularly by Traffic Wardens so it’s not worth taking the risk! The nearby side streets have few parking restrictions and are free to use. Staff use these streets regularly without any problems.

There is a bus stop directly outside the practice with regular services to the city centre and beyond. (40,41,ZZ) there are also two train stations close by (Duke Street and Bellgrove). If you are feeling energetic, it’s about a 30 minute walk into the city centre! about 1.3 miles.
