EMPC23

Hinxton is located near Cambridge. We will be providing coach options to and from Cambridge for participants every day, including on Monday for the short course participants from Homerton College. Pick-up places in the morning are in 10 Downing Street (CB2 3DS) (Outside John Lewis) in central Cambridge and Homerton College, where some of the conference attendees will be staying. In the late afternoon there will be coaches back to Cambridge. Information on this option can be found in this document.

Alternatively, you can take a train from Cambridge Station to Whittlesford Parkway (8-10 minutes). Upon exit, go over the bridge and exit the station. Wait for the Richmonds Coach as shown in this presentation, which will take you to the Wellcome Genome Campus. For the return journey, take the Richmonds coach to Whittlesford Parkway, buy a ticket for Cambridge (do not go over the bridge). Please refer to the presentation for further details on departure times of the shuttle buses and trains.

Please note that parking spaces at the Wellcome Genome Campus are available on a first come basis.
