Whether you want to make your own way from the airport, Eurostar or ferry to your accommodation or you'd prefer to book a private taxi transfer with EngXcel, you can find the information you need on this page.
London Stansted (STN) is the most convenient airport for Cambridge, and with regular direct trains you can be here in as little as 40 minutes.
Other London airports also work well, including Heathrow (LHR), Luton (LTN) and Gatwick (LGW).
The Eurostar is a great way for our European students to get to Cambridge, taking you right to St Pancras International station in central London. From there you can easily get a direct train to Cambridge from either St Pancras itself or London King's Cross across the road.
If you want to bring your own car (a great option for families or anyone who wants to combine their course with a Great British road trip!) the popular ferry ports of Portsmouth, Dover and Hull are all less than a 3-hour drive from Cambridge.
Alternatively, the port of Harwich - with 14 weekly sailings from the Hook of Holland - is only 1.5 hours from Cambridge by car.
