A car park at the University of Warwick has been named 'Car Park of the Year' by Britain's (self-appointed) dullest man.

Kevin Beresford gave the title to the Kirby Corner, University House Car Park which has "ditched pillars" and embraced wide parking bays to "enhance the parking experience".

An "expert on all things mundane" Mr Beresford gave the car park his seal of approval, saying: "From the very first viewing of the Kirby Corner car park, the initial impression was, what a sleek building it is, with its clean-looking lines.

"The building gets better as you enter.

"A very up-to-date construction at the zenith of car park design."

With 1,300 spaces over five floors, solar panels generate 10 per cent of its energy, helping to charge a row of electric car charging points.

Outside, the car park has designated areas for car-sharers surrounded by greenery and hedgerows.

A University of Warwick spokesperson said: "On behalf of the University of Warwick, I am thrilled to express our heartfelt gratitude for the honour of being awarded 'Car Park of the Year' for our Kirby Corner, University House car park. 

"This recognition marks our commitment to sustainability, convenience, and aesthetics.

"We thank you for this prestigious acknowledgement."
