Visiting IHGS

Arriving By Car

Being an ancient city, car parking is at a premium in Canterbury although there are several car parks within a few minutes walk of the Institute, with a maximum 12 hour stay.

St Radigund's car park can be found at postcode CT1 2AA

Northgate car park can be found at postcode CT1 1BL

See more information on travelling to IHGS and parking on the Visit Canterbury website.

Staying In Canterbury

For those wishing to extend their visit, Canterbury offers a lot to see and do. Whilst the Cathedral is the heart of the city, there are many other museums and attractions and, of course, for those with Kentish ancestors a visit to the Cathedral Archives is a must. Canterbury is a thriving tourist and university City with many pubs, restaurants, hotels and guest houses to suit all budgets. Canterbury Tourist Information provides further information including accommodation lists.
