About Artington Park & Ride

Artington Park & Ride is a park and ride facility in Guildford, designed for drivers who want to leave their car and take the bus into the centre.

It’s an open-air surface car park, generally easy to navigate with good visibility of available bays.

When to Visit

Park and ride sites follow a clear commuter pattern — demand surges on weekday mornings as people drive in and catch the bus, then stays high until the evening return. Arriving before 8am gives you the best chance of a space. Weekends are very quiet, as most park and rides see minimal non-commuter use. At this size, finding a space is rarely an issue — though during major events or peak Monday demand, even large car parks can feel the pressure.
