Travelling to the University
As the University will be operating as normal during this week, there will
be no opportunity to park at St John’s Campus. Graduands and guests will
need to park elsewhere in the City and make their way to Riverside for
robing and photography. Unfortunately there is no other suitable venue
closer to the Cathedral.
