How to Get Here
The Cavendish Laboratory is on Madingley Road to the west of the city:
The Optoelectronics group is based partly in the Microelectronics Research Centre and also in the Kapitza building, but you must visit reception
(at the front of the Bragg building) when you
arrive and contact the person you are visiting.
By Train
Trains run from both
King's Cross and Liverpool Street stations in London.
Cambridge station is about 3 miles from the Cavendish -
it is best to take a taxi.
The timetable for Cambridge-London trains can be found here:
By Car
Coming from the South, you will probably come up the M11. Leave at junction
13, turn right along the A1303. The Cavendish is on the right after a mile
or so.
Coming from the West, you will probably come on the A45 from Bedford.
Take the A1303 as you approach Cambridge, and you
will be on Madingley Road, with the Cavendish on the
right before you enter the city.
Coming from the North, you should come on the A14 (formerly A604).
Take the exit for Cambridge, and you enter along Huntingdon Road.
Turn right along Storey's Way, then right when you reach Madingley Road,
to find the Cavendish on the left.
By Air
The closest of the London International Airports is Stansted: buses run approximately
hourly to Cambridge, taking about 40 minutes. There is also a direct train
service to and from Cambridge Station to Stansted.
Luton airport has bus services every two hours, taking about 90 minutes, but no direct train connection.
The scheduled journey time on the bus is about two hours from Heathrow and three hours
from Gatwick. Alternatively, you can take the underground or train from Heathrow
or a train from Gatwick to central London, and then a train to Cambridge.
Cambridge Airport has scheduled services to UK destinations only.
From the bus station it is about a 20 minute walk to the Cavendish (via Burrell's Walk and the
Coton footpath - see
map), or you can take a taxi.
