Travelling to St. James' Park
Cycling, Bus, Metro, Train, Park & Ride, Coach and Taxi details
With a city-centre location, St. James' Park is one of the most accessible and well-connected football grounds in the UK.
The stadium is located close to the junction of Gallowgate, St. James' Boulevard and Barrack Road, just a ten-minute walk from Newcastle Central Station and around five minutes from Monument Metro Station and the city's major bus stations. Simply follow the pedestrian signs located throughout the city centre.
There are no unreserved public car parks on event days at St. James' Park and traffic restrictions may be in place.
Instead, we strongly recommend using public transport to reach the stadium, or if you're feeling fit then cycling is one of the healthiest ways of getting to the match. There are 35 'Sheffield stands' located around the stadium for you to lock your bicycle at. To plan your route, visit www.gosmarter.co.uk/journeyplanner.
