 Cambridge, UK is located approximately 45 minutes North of London by train, with easy access by bus or train to St. Pancras International - Eurostar (45m rail), London Stansted Airport (40m rail), London Heathrow Airport (LHR - 2h rail), London Gatwick Airport (LGW - 2h rail), Manchester Airport (MIA - 4h rail), London Luton Airport (1h25m bus).  European attendees may consider Eurostar or Stansted Airport preferred routes due to short transit time to Cambridge and lower prices.  Visitors from the US or elsewhere will likely need to travel into one of London's major international airports, such as Heathrow or Gatwick.  With the exception of Luton Airport, rail offers a more convenient but more expensive route to Cambridge than bus. Cambridge, UK is located approximately 45 minutes North of London by train, with easy access by bus or train to St. Pancras International - Eurostar (45m rail), London Stansted Airport (40m rail), London Heathrow Airport (LHR - 2h rail), London Gatwick Airport (LGW - 2h rail), Manchester Airport (MIA - 4h rail), London Luton Airport (1h25m bus).  European attendees may consider Eurostar or Stansted Airport preferred routes due to short transit time to Cambridge and lower prices.  Visitors from the US or elsewhere will likely need to travel into one of London's major international airports, such as Heathrow or Gatwick.  With the exception of Luton Airport, rail offers a more convenient but more expensive route to Cambridge than bus.
