King's College has a residents' card scheme which is available to local residents who live within a 10 mile radius of the College (CB2 1ST). The card allows local residents to enter the College grounds and Chapel, when open to the public.

Whilst other Colleges may accept our cards at their discretion, they are not sold on the basis that they will permit entry to other Colleges.

Access:

Please refer to the opening times of the Chapel and Grounds.  When the Chapel is not open for sightseeing, or after visiting hours end, the College grounds are closed for access to all non-College members.  The College reserves the right to restrict access at short notice.
