Car Hire Cambridge Airport
Car Hire Cambridge Downtown Cambridge InformationCambridge is a university city in Cambridgeshire in England. It's a city of crocuses and daffodils on the Backs, of green open spaces and cattle grazing only 500 yards from the market square. The Cambridge of Brooke, Byron, Newton and Rutherford, of the summer idyll of punts, 'bumps', cool willows and May Balls. In guidebooks Cambridge is generally rated amongst the top tourist destinations in UK.
Cambridge is a mere 50 miles (80 km) north of London - with good rail services and road communication links, Cambridge is easily accessible, whether travelling by car, or by public transport.
How to Travel to Cambridge:
By Plane:
Cambridge is within easy reach of all of London's international airports. London Stansted is 30 miles away, for example, from where there are regular bus and rail services into Cambridge. London Stansted and London Luton airports offer many of the cheapest international flights to be found in Europe, with many of the big low-cost European airlines such as Easyjet, Ryanair and HLX having a hub at one of these two airports.
By Train:
Regular trains run from London (King's Cross and Liverpool Street) to Cambridge. The fastest "Cambridge Cruiser" services to King's Cross take under 50 minutes, slower stopping trains may take up to 90 minutes. The train station is situated south of the center, there are regular buses into town and a taxi rank outside the station. Trains also run to and from Ipswich, Norwich, Peterborough and Birmingham. Direct trains from Stansted airport to Cambridge take 25 minutes (catch trains going in the direction of Birmingham). It is often necessary to change at Bishop's Stortford, which can make the journey time substantially longer.
By Car:
Parking can be difficult in central Cambridge and the one way street system is extremely confusing. Cambrige is connected to London primarily by the M11 (or A10 - but the M11 has no Speed Cameras, and is good for 150mph - I have made London Stanstead airport in 15 minutes). From the north, come off the A1 onto the A14, which is a terrible road - although 2 or 3 lane, it is very dangerous, full of speed cameras, as well as terrible driving.
By Bus:
The bus station is on Drummer Street, conveniently located for all the main sights - however, be aware that the City Council is intending to move its location. Jetlink airport buses serving Luton, Stansted, Heathrow, Gatwick and Brighton leave hourly. National Express [2] (http://www.nationalexpress.com/) provides bus links to major cities around the country.
