Accommodation, Dining and Conference Facilities

The accommodation, dining and conference facilities are all located at Homerton College, Hills Road, Cambridge. The railway station is about a 15 minute walk from the college or a couple of minutes by taxi. All rooms are single and en suite and will be available from the afternoon of 19 September with check out on the morning of 24 September. The cost of all the facilities and meals has been covered by the enrollment fee (except any telephone line costs).

Travelling to Cambridge

The closest airport to Cambridge is London Stansted which should be easy to reach for most European delegates and has direct rail and bus links in to Cambridge. It is also possible to take a taxi.

For those delegates travelling from further afield we would recommend you fly into London Heathrow rather than London Gatwick. This is only because it is more straightforward to travel on to Cambridge from Heathrow.

The most efficient way of arriving in Cambridge from Heathrow is to take the Heathrow Shuttle train into Paddington Station and then use the underground to travel to Kings Cross Station from where there is a regular fast train link direct to Cambridge. Alternatively take the underground all the way from Heathrow to Kings Cross Station. It is also possible to take an airport bus but this can be very time consuming depending on the time of day. You can travel from Gatwick similarly (shuttle train to Victoria Station and then on to Kings Cross) but it takes substantially longer.
