A footbridge over the ring road connects the basin directly to the city centre. There are three vehicular access points into the site; two from Draper’s Fields and one from St Nicholas Street. There is also a pedestrian access into the site from Leicester Row. Road connections are good as Leicester Row leads to Foleshill Road which reaches J3 of the M6 via the A444 to the north.
