Well-lit, secure surface parking near Coventry Cathedral
Situated just south of Coventrys City Centre triangle, Car Park Friars Road (APCOA) is an expansive surface lot with 250 standard bays and 15 accessible spaces, including a layby for drop-off and pick-up. The lot is fully fenced with gated, barrier-controlled access and features both pay-and-display machines and a contactless payment kiosk by the main entrance. This site operates 24/7 with well-lit lanes and high-definition CCTV monitoring to deter theft and vandalism. Pedestrian exit leads directly to Friars Road, providing easy access to Coventry Magistrates Court, Coventry Cathedral, and nearby retail parks within a 7-minute walk. The asphalt surface is graded for drainage, and painted arrows direct one-way traffic flow to reduce congestion. On-site facilities include a vending machine for tickets and a small covered seating area at the exit. While there is no on-site EV charging, there are three public chargers on Mull Avenue, two streets south. Tariffs are charged per hour, with concessionary day rates for stays longer than six hours. Lighting columns are checked weekly, and barriers are serviced monthly to ensure reliability.
