How to get here

With great transport links, Loughborough is an easy place to get to. Here you can get directions, plan your journey and find out where to park.

Our address

Loughborough University
Epinal Way
Loughborough
Leicestershire, UK
LE11 3GR

Our campus is just two miles from junction 23 of the M1 motorway and there are clear signposts on all the other main approach roads to Loughborough.

If you’re using a SatNav you can use the postcode LE11 3GR ('Holywell Car Park') to reach the campus. This will take you to our West Entrance where you will be met by members of our Security and Parking Team who will direct you to available parking on campus.      

We have a number of car parks on campus and so you may not end up parking in Holywell Car Park itself. The what3words reference for the West Entrance is #oils.corn.lasts.

Get directions

Coach and bus services to and from other parts of Leicestershire and the UK have stops in Loughborough town centre and outside campus.

You can travel by National Express, Megabus or regional bus services to and from Loughborough.

Regular services operate between Loughborough and other main line towns, including daily trains to and from London St Pancras International in as little as 1 hour 16 minutes.

You may be able to buy a combined train and bus ticket which incorporates the bus journey to and from the railway station. Just select Loughborough University Bus (XLO) when booking on websites such as The Trainline and East Midlands Railway.

Taxis are also usually available at the station.

East Midlands Airport is only 7 miles away and offers both domestic and international flights.

Skylink offers fast 24-hour bus travel to and from East Midlands Airport.

Taxis are also usually available at the airport.

Open Day Bus Service

You can hop on and off the buses as often as you like – they are free to use throughout the day. All the buses have a drop-floor and are accessible for wheelchair users and prams.

Make sure you check the front of the bus (or ask your driver!) as some of the buses will continuously loop around campus all day whilst others will also travel into town and to the train station.

We’ve estimated how long it will take you to get to the main buildings on campus from the West Park Teaching Hub (11), closest to the main car park.
