GENERAL INFORMATION:
Public transport

The bus station in Drummer Street is very central.
Driving to Cambridge
It’s impossible to drive across the centre of Cambridge. There is an inner ring road and half an outer ring road made up of ordinary streets marked with an occasional ‘R’ sign. The centre is divided into eight ‘Central Areas’, each with its own access points from the inner ring road. Look out for the light-blue signs. More info here .
To reach Cambridge from London come off the M11 at J11 and then follow the A1309 straight into Cambridge. When you reach the Royal Cambridge Hotel turn left or right at the mini-roundabouts for the inner ring road.
From mid-Norfolk take the A47/A14 then A1303 Newmarket Road into Cambridge (past the airport). When you reach the big roundabout you will be crossing the inner ring road.
From east Norfolk, come down the A10, Milton Road A1134.
From the west, come along the A14/A428/A1303. These will take you to the north-west corner of the city; follow the ring-road round. If you’re not sure which way round to go, the northern bit is usually quicker.
