Queens’ Lane

Before visiting

Queens’ Lane is a public street, so you can see the exterior filming setting without a ticket. It is a working route, not a film set: keep to the public pavement and respect college gates, residents and deliveries.

• Where: Queens’ Lane, central Cambridge, near Silver Street and the rear of King’s College. The reported driving shot is in Series 1 Episode 1; its precise position and scene details still need a frame check.
• When and cost: The street has no ticketed opening hours or admission charge. College interiors are separate controlled spaces.
• Getting there: Walk from central Cambridge. The University “U” bus stops on nearby Silver Street outside Queens’ College; the college says the station is a long walk and a bus or taxi may be easier.
• Parking and driving: Do not drive through the Silver Street bus gate from Queen’s Road to reach this area: Queens’ College warns that only buses and taxis may pass. College parking is limited and by permit, not general visitor parking. For city-centre parking, check the council’s Grand Arcade car park, its current charges and Blue Badge arrangements before travel.
• Facilities: The lane has no visitor facilities. The council lists public toilets at Silver Street Bridge, including a street-level accessible toilet and baby-changing provision. The ordinary toilets are down stairs and carry a charge; Radar-key use of the street-level facilities is free. Check current hours and availability on the council page.
• Access: Pavements are narrow and traffic and cycles share the area. A step-free route has not been independently surveyed. Ask the local visitor service about a suitable route if needed; do not assume adjoining college entrances are open.
