Driving
The most direct way to the Sidgwick site for visitors coming from outside the city is from Junction 12 of the M11:
- Take the A603 Barton Road for a mile or so into the city.
- Follow the road sharp left into Newnham Road, and go straight on at the roundabout. Continue past a garage and a few shops, follow the road left, then turn left at the traffic lights into Sidgwick Avenue.
- The entrance to the Sidgwick Site, and the Raised Faculty Building, is a few hundred yards on your right.
Please note that parking at the Sidgwick site is severely restricted, even for University staff. Unless you can arrange a permit in advance of your visit, you should use the (few available) metered bays on Sidgwick Avenue, the city centre car parks, or the Park & Ride facility.
Buses and Park & Ride
The Universal bus service run by Whippet runs every 15 minutes from Mondays to Fridays (every 20 minutes on Saturdays and every 30 minutes on Sundays) between Eddington and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus (including Addenbrookes). (Note: the bus only goes as far as Cambridge Railway Station on Saturdays and Sundays and doesn't go to Addenbrookes at the weekends). The bus service now includes evening services up until almost 10pm (weekdays and Saturdays) and a Sunday service every 30 minutes until around 7pm. For University card holders, the fare is just £1. The bus stops at several University sites and the city centre: alight at the University Library stop on West Road for access to the Sidgwick Site.
Cambridge has an extensive Park & Ride scheme, which operates from a number of useful sites around the city, and is recommended.
Rail
The main Cambridge station (not Cambridge North station) is a mile or so outside the city centre. There is a fast and frequent service from London King's Cross; connections from the north are usually made via Peterborough and Ely or Stevenage.
