Wolfson College is located just within the southwestern city limits of Cambridge, on the left of Barton Road A603, approaching Cambridge from M11 Junction 12. A map and directions can be found at www.wolfson.cam.ac.uk/directions. Cambridge railway station is some distance away, and delegates arriving by rail are advised to hire taxis. There is parking in some nearby streets. If you have limited mobility, please indicate, as we have a very small supply of permits to park within the College. Otherwise, passengers can be dropped off at the rear entrance in Selwyn Gardens, close to Lee Hall, and the driver can look for parking on the street.
