Getting to Cambridge
Cambridge is very well connected on the rail network and we recommend travelling by train. There are buses several times an hour during the day, and approximately once an hour between 7 and 10pm running between the train station and West Cambridge via Robinson College.
Unfortunately parking will not be available at the college. Parking in the city is limited so we recommend using the Park and Ride service if you are travelling to Cambridge by car. Park and ride buses travel into the city centre
Further details on the Park and Ride are here:

There are several taxi companies registered in Cambridge, and taxi ranks at the station and St Andrew's Street. Panther taxis are reliable and have a useful mobile app.
