Taxi

Taxis are available at Cambridge station and in the city centre. Ask the driver for Francis Crick Avenue rather than using the postcode, which may lead to the main hospital. If needed, use postcode CB2 0AA, which is a short walk from the LMB.

Driving

If driving, ask your host to reserve a parking space or use a nearby public car park (see map below). Some old SatNav systems need the postcode CB2 0AA to find Francis Crick Avenue. Visitor parking is signposted at the front of the building.
