ACCESSING QUEEN’S COLLEGE : Access to the Lunch is via Queens’ College Porters’ Lodge. Google Map to Porters’ Lodge 8 Silver St, Cambridge CB3 9ES, UK
CAR PARKING : The closest is less than 5 mins walk at the YourParkingSpace Car Park behind the Graduate Hotel. The Grand Arcade Car Park which is 5 min walk away. Some members prefer the Queen Anne Terrace Car Park which is a 15 min walk to the Porters Lodge as driving to the Graduate Hotal and the Grand Arcade can take much more time than the 10 min difference between the walks – and it is significantly cheaper!
