• By Road View
  • The Central Area is located on the south side in the city centre. Traffic congestion can be a problem, and parking is strictly controlled. There is a taxi rank located close to McEwan Hall. This provides level access (from the pavement) to Doorway 2 in the Medical School Quad of around 58m and level access (from the pavement) to the entrances in Bristo Square of approximately 76m. There is no dropped kerb at the taxi rank to the pavement.
  • A number of University car parks are located in the Central Area. The Transport and Parking Office of the University of Edinburgh manages parking at the University. University car parks are for the use of permit holders only, and are subject to the university’s parking regulations. Permits are available for visitors to the university.
• By Bus View
  • Buses from all over the city travel to the Central Area of the university. The University also provides a shuttle bus for staff and students between the Central Area and the King's Buildings. The majority of buses are operated by Lothian Buses. Up to the minute "real time" bus timetable information is now available at the majority of bus stops across the city. Information panels provided next to the majority of bus stops let you know when the next bus services will be arriving, or if there has been a delay. There is a bus stop close to McEwan Hall on Potterrow. It is approximately 42m from the bus stop to the closest entrance at the pavilion and 65m from the bus stop to the main entrance of McEwan Hall. The bus stop services the 47, X47 and 67 buses.
• By Train View
  • The Central Area of the university is 0.7 miles from Edinburgh Waverley Station. It should be noted that some of the walking routes may feature paths with steep gradients or steps given the landscape. Edinburgh has rail links throughout the UK. The East Coast mainline, which links Edinburgh and London King’s Cross, is the UK's fastest intercity railway: you can travel between the cities in around 4 hours. Or, if you prefer to travel overnight, a sleeper service runs between London Euston and Edinburgh Waverley 6 nights a week.
