Travel


The EBI is situated in the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus south of Cambridge, UK in the region of Hinxton. It is easily accessible by car, train, bus and air.

  • By Air

    It is best to fly to London Stansted airport. Stansted is about 20 minutes drive from Hinxton. If you must fly into London Heathrow or Gatwick, then allow at least 2 hours to reach Hinxton by road. A taxi is around £30 (when using a cab form the companies mentioned below) from Stansted and £85 for Heathrow and Gatwick.

    London Stansted has regular connections from Amsterdam, plus Frankfurt, Brussels, Dublin, Dusseldorf, Lille, Asturias, Aberdeen, Copenhagen and Munich. Alternatively you can use rail or coach links from both airports.

    Please note that we are approximately 25 minutes from central Cambridge by car and that public transport is infrequent and can be unreliable.

    Therefore we recommend you to get in touch before hand with the local taxi companies:
