Directions
- The School of Mathematics
is at the heart of the University
Campus. The main entrance to the campus, next to the Parkinson
Building (illustrated), is on Woodhouse Lane, just north of
Leeds city centre. The road continues north-west to Headingley, and
onwards as the A660 to Otley and Skipton.
- The walk from the city centre to the University
takes about 15 minutes.
- Buses from the Leeds railway station:
When you leave the railway station you will find
yourself in City Square. Across the square to
your left is the main Post Office.
The street which runs to the right of the Post
Office as you look at it is Infirmary Street,
where there are many bus stands. All buses from
stand B (except limited stop buses whose numbers
are prefixed by X) go to the main entrance of
the University.
- From the Leeds bus station:
The long distance bus station is adjacent to the
local bus station. Local bus routes 28, 93C, 96 ,
97, 655 and 731 all go past the main entrance of
the University. There is also a taxi rank.
- There is a free city bus running every few minutes from 6.30am to 7.30pm
Mondays to Saturdays. It links Leeds' rail and bus stations, business
and shopping districts, the General Infirmary, Universities and Park Lane
College. (Download the free city bus leaflet.)
- From Leeds-Bradford airport: There is a regular bus service from Leeds-Bradford airport to the City Centre. A taxi from
the airport to the University will cost
between £10 and £15.
- From Manchester airport:
There is a train service from the Manchester
airport railway station to Leeds railways station.
Trains run once each hour and takes about 75 minutes.
The train is called the "Transpennine Express",
although it is not very fast.
- Trains from London (King's Cross):
From King's Cross railway station there is a
direct and fast train to Leeds.
The average journey time is 140 minutes.
Note that the full train fare is rather expensive.
If you book the ticket at least one week in advance
the price is substantially reduced. It is generally
better to buy a "return" ticket, rather than a single
ticket for the journey to Leeds and a separate ticket
for the journey from Leeds back to London.
- Travelling by road from the south, west and east:
Follow signs to the University or to Headingley,
Otley or Skipton via the A660. It is best to
avoid the Leeds City Centre by using the inner
Ring Road, using the exit signposted as leading
to the University. You should eventually find
yourself on the A660 travelling north west from
the city centre towards Headingley, Otley and
Skipton. The white Parkinson Tower is clearly
visible on your left as you approach the main
entrance to the University.
- Travelling by road from the north:
You should aim to approach the city centre along
the A660. If you approach Leeds along the A61
you should turn right when you reach the
Outer Ring Road (A6120), and follow the
Ring Road until you reach the A660, when
you should turn left and head towards the city centre.
If you approach Leeds along the A65, turn left
at the Ring Road (A6120), and then right when
you reach the A660.
The University is about 4km from the Ring Road
on the A660. Just before you reach the University
you will pass a park on the right hand side of the
road, with open ground on the left hand side.
