getting here
Parking at the studios is limited. West Park Place runs directly off Dalry Road, a five minute walk from Haymarket station with many surrounding bus links. From Haymarket station, you would turn right and walk up Dalry Road. Stay to the right hand side of the road and you will see West Park Place, about 5 minutes up on your right. It is a very small street and the building is surrounded by student accommodation.
