Free car park

There is a car park at the Clinical Research Facility at Manchester Royal Infirmary on Grafton Street.  It is free for research participants and other visitors to the facility.

To reach the car park, enter the hospital campus from Grafton Street by Gate 9, which is signposted “Accident and Emergency”. It is on the left hand side as you face the front of the Facility building.

If you turn onto Grafton Street from the junction with Upper Brook Street (A34), you need to take the first turning on the left, immediately before the Facility. If you come from Oxford Road (B5117), the entrance is on your right, after the entrance to Outpatients and immediately after you’ve passed the Facility building. Once you have turned off from Grafton Street, the car park is immediately on your right hand side. Please use the intercom at the barrier to contact our reception staff, who will let you in.
