† Tesco also has a Petrol Filling Station located in the Silverburn car parks (between the Red car park and Tesco's own car park), just off the M77.

By Road

Silverburn is accessible from Junction 2 of the M77, and has its own dedicated slip roads for those coming from and going to the south. Unfortunately at times queues can stretch all the way round the Silverburn perimeter road and even onto the M77 itself. It would be advisable to allow an extra hour for access to or from the shopping centre at peak times.

Locally, access to Silverburn's car parks can be found from either Barrhead Road by the M77, or by Peat Road via Cowglen Road, just off Barrhead Road.

It should be noted that Tesco's car park is privately owned by Tesco, and in conjunction with Euro Car Parks now operates a fixed Parking Charge Notification policy on cars parked for longer than four hours. Parking Charge Notices are also issued for parking in a disabled bay or for returning to the car park within 4 hours.

No such charges apply to the Red, Yellow, Green or Blue Silverburn car parks.

By Bus

Silverburn has its own Bus Stand to the rear of the Centre on Cowglen Road, receiving services such as First's X8 from Glasgow City Centre.
