In order to safeguard the College community and to prevent the wider spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, the decision has been taken to close the College. The closure will apply to all non-King’s members for the foreseeable future, and therefore the Grounds will not be open for walk through access, and the Chapel will be closed to all visitors.

King's College has a residents' card scheme which is available to local residents who live within a 12 mile radius of Great St Mary's Church (in the Market Square, Cambridge). The card allows local residents to enter the College grounds and Chapel, when open to the public.

Cards cost £10 each, and are valid for three consecutive years from the date of issue. This charge is to cover the administration costs of producing the cards.
