How to find us

We have a Google map showing where we were. You can zoom, and pan, and view the satellite image, as with all Google maps.

By train

National Rail Enquiries offers a route planner on it's home page. Taxis and numerous bus routes link the railway station with the centre of the city, though walking is also possible.

By car

Driving and parking in the centre of Cambridge is difficult and should be avoided if possible. There is a Park and Ride scheme which might be useful to visitors coming for one day only. The University of Cambridge has produced a clickable map of the parts of Cambridge containing university buildings. NIEeS is located in the Downing Site.

By bus

National Express operates services between Cambridge and major cities and airports.
