Getting to the College
The College is located on Magdalene Street in the centre of Cambridge beside the River Cam. Visitors are requested to report to the Porters’ Lodge on arrival.

The bus stops in Bridge Street, just south of the college. (Walk back over the bridge from the bus stop). The bus takes 6 – 10 minutes depending on traffic.
Parking is free for 18 hours and thereafter charges apply
- 18 – 24 hours £10

The Park & Ride Bus runs every ten minutes until 6.00pm and then every twenty minutes to 20.10.
For those who are also staying either/or Thursday or Saturday nights (or beyond) at the Arundel House Hotel, parking is available for residents but only for the nights booked there. This needs to be booked individually by contacting the hotel.
