Travel by Air

There are three major London airports, Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted. Stansted is the most convenient in terms of location and amenities, but, although there are regular flights from Paris, Amsterdam and a number of other European destinations, intercontinental services are limited at present. There are connections to destinations worldwide through Air UK.


Via Heathrow.

There is a frequent coach service from Heathrow airport to Cambridge beginning at 3.30 am and ending late evening. The journey takes two and a half to three hours. The coach can be picked up at the Central Bus Station (for Terminals 1 to 3) or outside Arrivals at Terminal 4. If you have a lot of baggage this is the simplest option.
        To travel by train, take the underground (Piccadilly line) to King's Cross (direct line), from where there are twice-hourly express trains to Cambridge. The underground service is very frequent and takes about an hour to central London. Do NOT use Heathrow Express, which is exorbitantly expensive and will save very little time because it only runs to Paddington.

         By road, follow the signs to the M23 north towards London, leaving by exit 7, turning right to follow the M25 east counterclockwise around London, crossing the Thames at Dartford (where there is a toll charge of £1). Leave the M25 at exit 27 north onto the M11 towards Cambridge (see by road from London). The journey takes about 2 hours.
