Directions for getting to the Guildhall

If you are approaching Northampton from the M1, it is essential that you exit the motorway a Junction 15. From this junction head north towards the Town Centre on the A508 London Road which then becomes A45 Nene Valley Way.

At the third major Interchange from the motorway, leave the A45 and take the first exit towards the Town Centre on the A428 Bedford Road. Continue along this road in the right hand lane for approximately a quarter of a mile until you reach the traffic lights. Turn right at the lights onto Cliftonville Road, passing Cliftonville House (also Northampton Borough Council) sited on this corner. Continue up the hill until you reach the second set of traffic lights.

Turn left onto Billing Road.

Continue along past the hospital, over another set of traffic lights onto Spencer Parade (one way) which then becomes St. Giles Street shopping frontage.

Travel past the Post Office near the end of St. Giles Street and immediately to your right will be the entrance to the Council car park. You will need to stop at the barrier and press the button on the control panel for assistance. Parking is by appointment only.

If you have no appointment, please continue to Guildhall Road and follow the signs for Public Car Parking.

The First Stop Shop and Visitors Reception is situated up the steps to the left of the Guildhall car park entrance.
