to use alternative travel options where possible. Barriers control access to the
site and all vehicles must display a valid permit. Entry is via Kingston Lane only.

not yet adjusted their directions to the new vehicle entrance in Kingston Lane.
Eligible students must apply for an annual vehicle permit via eVision. Students

The Uxbridge area has excellent transport links. Brunel University is close to
Heathrow Airport, is served by underground and rail links, and has excellent
local bus services. The University campus has secure cycle storage facilities
and is approximately a 20 minute walk from Uxbridge town centre.
By Foot
The University campus is a pleasant 15-20 minute walk from Uxbridge town
centre. From Uxbridge tube station, skirt around the Old Market past HSBC Bank
into Windsor Street. At the bottom of Windsor Street, turn left and cross the
dual carriageway via the light-controlled crossing. Bear left and then walk
straight on, avoiding the subway, into Whitehall Road. Walk along Whitehall
Road and over the crossroads into Cleveland Road. Many areas on campus are
connected to the central concourse which runs right through the University.
The footpaths are generally well lit and are mostly overlooked by CCTV. Staff
and students are advised to refer to gate signage for opening and closing times
at entrance and exit points around campus.
Please remember to stay safe whilst walking and travel in a group when
appropriate. The journey planner www.walkit.com can help identify walking
routes between locations and also includes an option to use routes away
from busy roads. Walk Finder is another useful site where you can choose a
route and also find out what is going on in that area
