Getting to Cambridge

  • Arriving by Bicycle

    If you drive or travel into the city via public transport you may want to cycle to CRERC. Extensive cycle routes and dedicated cycle lanes cross the city and cycle parking is provided in the courtyard of 17 Mill Lane. Cycle racks are available but do remember to bring your own lock and be careful not to attach your cycle to anyone else’s. Also be aware of cycle security – you park at your own risk.

  • Arriving by Train

    There are fast and frequent rail services from London Kings Cross, London St Pancras and other Thameslink terminals, and London Liverpool Street direct to Cambridge. There are also excellent connections from Scotland and the North via Peterborough, direct services from Brighton via London, and regional services from Birmingham and the Midlands, East Anglia, and the Northwest.

    For information on timetables and prices the Trainline website is very useful.

    There is a taxi rank in front of the station, and bus services that run frequently from the station into the city centre. Look for the Stagecoach buses stops for routes Citi 1 (Arbury), Citi 3 (Fison Road), or Citi 7 (City Centre), situated on the left as you exit the station building.

    Walking from the station to Land Economy takes 15 to 20 minutes. Follow Station Road from the railway station to the War Memorial on Hills Road (the first T junction).  Turn right and follow Hills Road to the Catholic Church (a large stone building on the left) at the corner of Hills Road and Lensfield Road. Turn left and follow Lensfield Road to the end. Turn right into Trumpington Street, continue along this road past the Fitzwilliam Museum on your left. Continue past Little St Mary's Church, and shortly after the Emmanuel United Reformed Church turn left onto Mill Lane. The Department of Land Economy Reception is at 17 Mill Lane.

  • Arriving by Bus or Coach

    National Express operates coach services to Cambridge from major towns and cities throughout the UK. There are frequent coach services from central London and London Stansted Airport to Cambridge, as well as Stagecoach bus services to and from Oxford via Bicester, Buckingham, Milton Keynes, and Bedford, using the connecting 905 and X5 routes.

    Coaches arrive and depart from Parkside on Parker’s Piece, a short walk from Land Economy. Walk along Park Terrace, turn right into St Andrew’s Street and then left into Downing Street/Pembroke Street. Follow it to the end then go straight ahead onto Mill Lane. The Department of Land Economy Reception is at 17 Mill Lane.

    The Guided Busway offers a fast and frequent service from Huntingdon to the city centre including stops at the train station and Addenbrookes Hospital. Park and Ride sites for this service can be found at St Ives, Longstanton, and Trumpington.

  • Arriving by Road

    From the south and from London, Cambridge is a short trip up the M11 motorway. From the north, the A1 and M1 link to the A14 dual carriageway straight to the city; from the east and west, the A14 is again the main route into Cambridge.

    Parking facilities at the Department are very restricted and are not normally available for visitors to Land Economy.

    For short stays the City Centre Car Parks offer great convenience, but for longer visits there are five Park and Ride sites located on the outskirts of the city that provide free parking and swift and frequent bus services to the city centre.

  • Arriving by Air

    Cambridge is within easy reach of London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London City, London Luton, and Birmingham International Airports. London Stansted is the closest international airport to Cambridge, located just 30 miles to the south of the city, with easy access by train, coach, or car (M11). The Stansted Airport webpage has useful travel information.
