Location overview:

Travel to hotel:

From the bus station Nottingham Coach station:

When you leave Railway Station; turn left and go along Station St when you will pass Tesco Express and Starbucks cafe turn slightly right and go along Carrington St; at the end of the road you will see Broad Mash bus station (picture in the right corner). From here take INGIGO BUS (bay 3) or i4 bus (bay 4). Leave bus at Lenton, Hillside bus stop. (To be 100% sure that it is good bus stops tell the driver that you want to get to the Jubilee Campus. It is important to tell the driver your destination because drivers don’t stop on each bus stop and before your stop you should ring a bell, but in situation when you are a foreigner when the driver know when you want to leave he will stop). In UK you are buying a ticket at the entrance to the bus. The driver will ask you where are you going and on that basis he charge you (normal one way ticket cost around 1.75£; it very important to have coins or low nominal currency. Driver doesn’t like to make you change from high nominal currency).

Once you leave the bus, follow the route indicate on the map below:

Travel to Nottingham:

By coach: For those who will travel from Heathrow airport to Nottingham,  the best way is to take bus (http://www.nationalexpress.com/ ). BE CAREFUL, if you book to travel by bus choose the right Terminal from Heathrow airport and as a destination the Nottingham Coach station. This will take you from the airport’s exit and bring you straight to Nottingham.

By train: Nottingham has a direct connection with the London St. Pancras station. You can book your tickets from there: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/

If you choose train, keep in mind that the ‘advance’ ticket means that you must travel with the itinerary you have booked, while with the ‘off-peak’ ticket you can travel at any itinerary at this route that is indicated ‘off-peak’. Usually, advance tickets are cheaper, so you’ve better book an advance ticket.

For those who would like a short break to London, before the workshop: In this case, try to find a hotel outside the city centre if you want reasonable prices! London has a labyrinth of underground lines and you can go almost everywhere with that. There, you can find information about transportation in London: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/

Travel in London:

From Heathrow airport, you can travel to the centre of London either by the underground (cheap but slow – around 45mins) or Heathrow express (expensive but quick – around 15mins).

Taxis

There are taxi ranks throughout the city and immediately adjacent to the main railway and bus stations. The journey to the campus takes approximately 15 minutes.

Avoid rogue and unlicensed taxi drivers - Nottingham City Council licenses two types of vehicles - Hackney Carriages and Private Hire vehicles. If you get into a Private Hire car without pre-booking it (that is - you stop it or find it in the street) you may not be covered by insurance. Private Hire drivers call this 'flying' and they know they are breaking the law. If you are involved in an accident you will experience difficulty in claiming for any damage or injuries.
