Getting to Cambridge

The nearest airports to Cambridge are Stansted (30 miles) and Luton (40 miles). There’s a direct train link to Cambridge from Stansted and Gatwick airports, and Heathrow airport is also easily accessible by train (via London King’s Cross/London St Pancras). In addition, buses run relatively regularly from Stansted, Luton, Heathrow and Gatwick airports to the city centre (check here for more details).

Train

From London, there are two direct trains – the slower London Liverpool Street has more stops (1 hr 30 mins), which would also be suitable if you are coming from Shelford, Audley End, Bishops Stortford, parts of Essex and more. The popular fast train is direct from Kings Cross and takes around an hour.

There is another train station, Cambridge North, around 2 miles north of the city. See National rail enquiries for train timetables and to book tickets. There’s a taxi rank outside the main Cambridge station and buses run frequently between the station and city centre (to/from Emmanuel Street/St Andrew’s Street).
