Travelling by train

 Timetables available the National Rail Enquiries website.

The journey time from London is approximately one hour. 

Whittlesford Parkway *, Great Chesterford * and Audley End are the closest railway stations to the Campus and these are all on the Cambridge-London Liverpool Street line.

Cambridge is the closest railway hub, it is on both the London King’s Cross and the London Liverpool Street line, and also serves trains coming from the north.

Please note: *Whittlesford Parkway and *Great Chesterford stations are very small stations and therefore they do not have a taxi rank or a taxi telephone.  It is possible to pre-book taxis to meet you from the train.
If a taxi has not been pre-booked (numbers below) please ensure you have local taxi numbers or use either Cambridge or Audley End stations .

Arriving by car


From the South

Leave the M11 at junction 9 (signed A11 Newmarket) and take the first exit signed A1301 towards Cambridge. From the roundabout take the first left (about 800 m). At the next small roundabout follow the signpost left for the ‘Genome Campus’.

From the North

Leave the M11 at junction 10 (note that M11 junction 9 is restricted and only accessible from the South). Turn left at the roundabout and straight over the next roundabout. Travel a mile or so on the A505 in the direction of Saffron Walden. At the next roundabout take the third exit (signed A1301 towards Saffron Walden). Pass two turnings to Hinxton village (these go to the village only), and take a right, at the next roundabout, signposted on to the Genome Campus.

Car sharing

We actively encourage all of our delegates and conference team to share journeys to and from the Campus where possible.
