Parking
- Campus bike hangars
- Together with the Logistics team, Sustainable UCL has installed four bike hangars on UCL's main campus, which provide secure locking for staff who regularly cycle to UCL. These are being trialled and following review, UCL may look to install additional hangars. Each hangar allows for 6 bicycles to be locked securely.
Where: 1x Andrew Huxley Building Entrance, 2x Turning Circle outside Medawar Building, 1x Print Room Café Entrance. View the map above to see locations on campus.
Who: Staff only.
Access: The bike hangars are only accessible to key holders.
Currently, all spaces have been allocated, please see our other cycle parking locations below.
