Getting here

There are many ways to get to our hospitals.

Park and ride

Our hospitals have direct and frequent links to many Cambridgeshire Park and Ride sites.

  • Plan your journey: Use the Park and Ride website (opens in a new tab) to check routes and times.
  • Babraham Park and Ride: Some parking spaces are unavailable due to a renewable energy project. Extra spaces are available at Trumpington Park and Ride, which connects to the hospital via the Busway or a shared cycle/pedestrian path.

Addenbrooke’s Hospital has a bus station at the Hills Road entrance. Most buses pick up and drop off here. There are also stops across the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.
