Getting to Cambridge
If you are arriving in London by air, you will find below details about travelling on to Cambridge by train, bus/coach, road and chauffeur driven car. If there are two or more of you travelling together consider a chauffeur driven car as it is very convenient and cost-effective.
Cambridge is conveniently situated for the three main international London airports Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted.
Distances by road to Cambridge are (approx.) London Heathrow (120 km), London Gatwick (160 km), London Stansted (50 km). There are also flights into London Luton (60 km) and London City Airport (90 km). London Stansted is nearest to Cambridge (25 min by road) and has many flights from European cities.
There is a regular bus/coach service (Jetlink)
from Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports to Cambridge (approximate times
(dependent upon traffic conditions) 2.5 hours from Heathrow, 3.5 hours from
Gatwick; 45 minutes from Stansted; Note these are new
scheduled travel times that have recently been increased). There are
also frequent Underground (subway) services from Heathrow to central London
(approximately 50 minutes), and fast rail links from Gatwick and Stansted to
central London.
Cambridge has a small airport which serves Amsterdam only. This service was discontinued in January 2002.
By train: Cambridge is about 100 km (60 miles) north east of London.
It is easily accessible by train (depart London Kings Cross (fastest) or London
Liverpool Street stations; service about every 30 min during daytime; journey
time 50-70 min).
By bus:There is a frequent bus service from all London airports to Cambridge. You can travel from central London to Cambridge by bus from Victoria Bus Station.
By road: There are many car hire companies at the airports. Please consult Symposium Secretariat if you need advice obout the route to take when driving from the airport to Cambridge. Details (local) for finding Robinson College are available at the Robinson College web site.
Chauffeur driven car/taxi hire for tansport to and from airports: There are a number of companies in Cambridge operating a chauffeur driven car service to and from the airports. Kenway Cars based in Cambridge provide such an airport service and will meet you at the airport Arrivals lounge when you arrive and deliver you direct to Robinson College. This is a cost-effective, quick and convenient alternative to public transport, particularly when 2 or more people are travelling together. Details of other chauffeur driven cars are available by contacting the Symposium organiser, CRTT by email.

Finding Robinson College
Taxis to Robinson College are available at the Cambridge Railway Station and
at the Cambridge Bus Station at Drummer Street (the journey time to the College
is approximately 7-10 minutes (cost 3-5 UK pounds depending on traffic) from
both bus and train stations).
Robinson College is just a short walk through the historic 'Backs' to the heart
of pedestrianised Cambridge. Delegates are discouraged from travelling by car
within Cambridge: because of its medieval origins, Cambridge has narrow streets,
many of which are pedestrianised. There is only little and expensive parking
in the city centre. For those who must use a car, there is some on-street parking
around Robinson College.
Where to check in and register for the Symposium
On Friday 05 April 2002, you will check in at Robinson College. Those who have
accommodation at Robinson College can collect their room key after 14.00h. The
Registration Desk will be open from 16.00 - 18.00h on Friday and from 08.00h
