The Springfield Centre is located on Springfield Road, by the roundabout which forms the junction between Springfield Road, Woodlands Road and College Road. The main entrance to the Centre fronts on to Springfield Road, however the car park is accessed from the back of St Christopher's Church, situated on Woodlands Road.

Why not do your bit for the environment? Parking is limited at the Springfield Centre, so it's much easier to come to us by public transport. Getting here by bus is the easiest way, and cost effective too! Everything you need to know is shown below...

By Bus

The Springfield Centre is easily accessible by bus. The numbers on the map below represent the buses that stop nearest the Springfield Centre.

For information on bus timetables, visit http://www.networkwestmidlands.com/ Buses generally run every 5 - 10 minutes.

If you're on the 6 or the 31, get out in Sparkhill outside the Post Office / A-Z Bikes.

The Springfield Centre is just a little way up Springfield Road on your right, by the roundabout. If you get the 6 or the 31, just walk from the Post Office to Springfield Road (this means crossing Stratford Road by LloydsTSB).

Please note, if you look for the Springfield Centre on the satellite images on Google Maps, our building is shown as a steel frame because the picture was taken during the building process!

The entrance to our car park is off Woodlands Road, but the car park is very small, so please be prepared to park nearby and walk to the Centre. On-street parking is sometimes available on Woodlands Road. Alternatively, there is a large car park a 2 minute walk away, just off Stratford Road. This car park is shown on the bus map above. It is next to the former United Church building, which is currently being refurbished.
