Location, Services and Transport
Located on Hills Road, several miles from the city centre.
Nearby colleges
No colleges are within easy walking distance. Homerton, on Hills Road, is the closest.
Traffic
Hills Road is very busy, and the roundabout outside Addenbrooke's is large and dangerous. Some slow-moving traffic and ambulances on the site itself.
Services and shops
Convenience stores, cafes, snack bars, hairdressers, and some other shops and services in the main building. There is a cafeteria in the Clinical School building.
Vehicle entrances
Vehicle entrance to site from Hills Road, via a large roundabout. Turn left at the mini-roundabout near the bus station to access the Forvie Site.
Parking
Many car parks and designated disabled bays on site, but these are often full. For short-term visits to the main hospital building, there are several designated disabled bays near the main entrance and A&E. Contact the individual department for advice on where to park. A new multi-storey carpark is currently under construction.
Other transport options
Bus stops with regular buses, including the Uni 4, to and from the city centre and other areas of Cambridge.
