Travel

1. The Madingley Road Park & Ride bus goes past the Cavendish Laboratory and will stop on request; in any case it is only a short walk from the terminus.
2. There is no southbound access off the M11 at Junction 13. You have to travel on to Jn 12 and then head north. From Jn 13 head into Cambridge, past the Park & Ride and take the second right (a section with a central reservation). This is clearly signed 'Cavendish Laboratory'.
3. There is plenty of car parking on site.
4. This map shows a plan of the Cavendish Laboratory and associated car parks, with routes for exhibitors and visitors.
5. Parking for Fitzwilliam is available at Storey's Way and off Huntingdon Road - the former is recommended.
6. It is roughly a 15 minute walk from Fitzwilliam to the IOA, and 25 minutes to the Cavendish.
