How do you get to the car parking at Dundrum Centre?

Two lanes going in and the left one does indeed go into the overground Tesco car park (or the petrol garage) and the other (right one) goes down into the underground car park.

It's easily signed when you drive it so don't sweat. Crowds and traffic haven't built up to insane level yet.

Just follow the signs for parking, simples.

Careful that you know the level , section and car park colour ,because Dundrum can be confusing .

Some people actually take a photo of this info , which I would recommend too .

come off the M50 then take the second exit (straight ahead-ish) drive straight (you'll see a roundabout ahead, a small one. go through it and about 500 yards to a larger roundabout, go left here! drive down that road (houses on either side as you drive), it will arch towards a right and you'll come to another small roundabout, take the right at this one and in about 30mtrs, the entrance to the carpark is on the right. this is the best way and takes a total of two minutes from off the M50 to the carpark with light traffic.

Cheers. Would you need to be in the right lane approaching the roundabout, even though it's technically incorrect, so as you don't get crowded out and pushed into the tesco one? Or would you be able to switch once you've gone in the gate?

You can switch easy enough at the gate. If you find that a bit confusing stay in the left lane at the roundabout and "head away" from the shopping centre. You'll drive alongside it and about 400yrds on the right is another entrance to the car parks. Head in there and go down to the bottom level. Always loads of spaces there and the escalator takes you straight into the House of Fraser.

Left lane exiting roundabout is fine as it's the second exit on that roundabout. It's the exit with the big Dundrum Christmas sign in the wall. Drive up and there's two lanes the left one is marked clearly as Tesco one so just get in the right one will swing to left and down into the underground car park. Think you come in at level 2M which is between 2 and 3.

The Christmas rush there hasn't really started as far as I can see (during weekday office hours anyway) but I'd say it's already busy Thursday nights and weekends.

These would be the same entrance from looking at it on Google maps would they? Does the carpark go right under the whole thing?

They're not the same entrance but they "meet" and you go in under the same barriers. If that makes sense!!

Hopefully it's not too bad then. I was expecting queues back onto the M50 slip road.

It will start to get a bit insane late evenings and weekends very soon if not already.
