Traveling to Cambridge and Staying at Robinson's College
Cambridge is an accessible city for both local and international attendees of the PaleoStatsWorkshop.


For International Participants:
The best route for international participants is to arrive at London Heathrow Airport. From there, you can take the Elizabeth Line to King's Cross Station in London. This journey offers a fun opportunity for Harry Potter fans to snap a picture with the famous trolley at the 'Platform 9¾' section. Once at King's Cross, you can catch a direct train to Cambridge, which is a convenient and scenic way to travel.


By Train:
Cambridge is well-connected by train from London and other major UK cities. Once you
arrive at Cambridge's central train station, you can easily reach Robinson's College using the
U-bus system, which provides a direct and convenient connection.


By Road:
If you're driving, Cambridge is accessible via major highways. However, be aware that
parking can be limited in the city.
