Walking
From Cambridge Railway Station, walk 15-20 minutes along Station Road and Hills Road, then turn toward Downing Place; flat pavements suit most, but evening crowds thicken paths.
Bus
Catch Parkside or Emmanuel Street-bound buses from city center stops like Drummer Street, 5-10 minutes travel time, frequent service until late; single fare £2-£3.
Taxi
Uber or black cabs from central Cambridge cover the 2km in 5-8 minutes, available 24/7 but surge pricing peaks evenings; expect £7-£12.
Cycling
Bike-share Santander cycles from racks near Market Square take 7-10 minutes via quiet side streets; secure locks at nearby stands, no fee for short rides under 30 minutes.
