Finding Your Way to 16 St Mary’s Street Edinburgh

Making your meeting journey easier

Right in the heart of Edinburgh’s old town and five minutes walk from Waverley Train Station, this is a great location to host your meeting, conference or training.

  • By Train

    Leave Waverley Station (Market Street Exit) by the steps to Market Street (or by the main pedestrian exit to Waverley Bridge, turning left then left again into Market Street). Continue along Market Street, going under the large decorated bridge.

    After the bridge, bear right into Jeffrey Street, up the hill past Jury’s Hotel to the junction (traffic lights) with the High Street.

    When standing on the High Street (Royal Mile) cross the road onto St Mary’s Street (continuation of Jeffrey Street) and you will find the training centre down the hill on the left hand side (opposite side of the road to the Travelodge)

    If you have reached the Travelodge you have gone too far as we are situated between Guajira Café and Mary’s Café Bistro, opposite Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers.

  • By Air

    Edinburgh Airport

    Outside the main airport terminal you will find: a rank for airport taxis, an airport bus stop and a tram stop, all of which bring you into the centre of town, and just a short walk to the Venue.

  • By Car

    10% discount at the Holyrood Road NCP car park

    If you are arriving by car, there are three multi-storey car parks just a few minutes walk from Edinburgh Training and Conference Venue. We have a concessionary rate at the Holyrood Road, EH8 9UL, NCP car park.

    To get your 10% discount, validate your parking ticket with our Receptionist.

    Please also be aware of Edinburgh city centre’s Low Emission Zones (LEZ). The NCP Car Park is outside of the LEZ restricted zone, so no matter what make or model you have, there is parking close by for you.

  • By Taxi

    We would advise you to give clear instructions to the taxi driver and specify that the venue is situated on St Mary’s Street. That way, you won’t run the risk of ending up at one of the other conferencing venues in Edinburgh (as has unfortunately happened to some of our previous delegates).

    Central Taxis: 0131 229 2468

    Our address is in Central Taxi‘s booking database. By choosing them, you can be sure you will be heading straight here. If you require a pick up from the Venue, we are always happy to book one for you, just pop into reception.

  • By Tram

    There are two stops near the Venue:

    St Andrew Square: Head down the hill towards Princes Street, where you will see Waverley Train Station and can follow the walking directions from there.

    Princes Street: Walk past the National Gallery, which is across the road, towards Waverley Train Station, from there you can follow the walking directions.

    If you are taking the tram from any stop in Edinburgh or the Airport, please ensure you buy your ticket before boarding the tram, or you will be fined £10.
