About Getting to Cambridge

Cambridge is under an hour from London by fast train from King’s Cross, with slower services from Liverpool Street. From the station, walk or take a bus into the centre, and leave time for a punt along the Backs behind the colleges. Check times with National Rail.

Why it's on our list

  • From King’s Cross
  • Under an hour
  • Punting on the Cam

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Getting to Cambridge before you go.
