Parking, which is at a premium in this city, is free, however, please note, it operates on a first come first serve basis and cannot be reserved or guaranteed.

With the increasing trend for card payments, the College has decided it will become cashless from 1 January 2020. All payments at the College bar and in the Dining Hall should be made by card from this date. All cards, except American Express, will be accepted.

Founded in 1958, Churchill College is the National and Commonwealth Memorial to Sir Winston Churchill.
