Travel to SENS 2
Here is a map of Cambridge showing the bus and train stations; Queens' is on Silver Street,
very close to the site marked "C".
Here is a map of central Cambridge showing the locations of most of the colleges.
The nearest major airport to Cambridge is
Stansted.
Jetlink buses
run hourly between the airport and the centre of Cambridge. They take
about 40 minutes, as does the hourly
train service.
Almost as close to Cambridge, and with good direct services from some
places in Europe, is Luton.
Jetlink buses
run hourly between the airport and the centre of Cambridge. They take
about an hour.
Cambridge can be reached by train in about two hours from either of
London's two largest airports, Heathrow and Gatwick, Train
travel from Heathrow is by London
Underground (Piccadilly Line) to King's Cross, followed by a direct
train to Cambridge.
From Gatwick, take a Thameslink train to King's
Cross Thameslink (about 200 yards from King's Cross). There is also an
hourly bus service; this
takes about three and a half hours from Gatwick or two and a half from
Heathrow.
Finally, some European cities have connections to London City Airport.
From London City Airport the best way is to get the blue shuttlebus
to Liverpool Street train station (about 30 minutes duration). There
are direct trains from
Liverpool Street to Cambridge.
For those staying in London before or after the conference, it may be more
convenient to take a bus from
Victoria station.
Taxis are readily available from Cambridge train and bus stations; a taxi
to Queens' College costs about five pounds.
Cars can be hired at all the above airports or in Cambridge, but please
be aware that parking near the conference is very limited. There is no
parking space at the college.
