How to find us

Weston Park Cancer Centre, Whitham Road, Sheffield S10 2SJ

Weston Park Cancer Centre is about a 25 minute walk from Sheffield city centre. Whilst we do have some car parking spaces available at the Centre at busy times it can be difficult to park and so if possible we recommend public transport is the best way to travel to Weston Park Cancer Centre.

We provide clinics and services on several sites so check your appointment letter for the address of the site you need to visit.

We are well served by a number of bus services and close to the tram route. Use Travel South Yorkshire’s www.travelsouthyorkshire.com  to plan your journey from anywhere in the UK to the Centre.

Car park app.

Our car park operator Indigo UK has recently been acquired by a Spanish operator called Saba. Over time you’ll see the Park Indigo App change to Saba. Users won’t need to delete and download a new app as the Saba branded app will be set as an automatic update in the App Stores. Likewise, you’ll see changes on the website too but you’ll still be able to purchase parking via the app and website.

If you would like to use this payment method simply download the Saba Parking App (formerly Indigo) for free from the iTunes App store or Google Play for Android devices https://www.sabaparking.co.uk/app. After creating an account and filling in the payment method, select the car park you are parked in and choose your required parking time. You can extend your parking time remotely from your mobile if you need to stay longer.
