By Car:
Arriving on the M11 motorway, exit at junction 11 and follow the signs into Cambridge. Pass the Trumpington Park & Ride site and Waitrose supermarket on the left. Turn left at the junction then continue on the same road all the way into the city passing through Trumpington (Shell garage on the left, Esso garage on right), several large private schools on the right, an area of common land that often contains horses on the left. Ultimately, arrive at a pair of mini-roundabouts infront of a large hotel (The Royal Cambridge). Go straight ahead at the first roundabout, then immediately right at the second onto Lensfield road. Turn first left, after about 50 metres, into Tennis Court Road (this is one way!). The Henry Wellcome Building housing the Wellcome Trust / Cancer Research UK Gurdon Institute is the first building on the left. Parking is unavailable on site though Grand Arcade and Queen Anne Terrance car parks are within walking distance and buses from the Trumpington Park & Ride site drop off passengers in central Cambridge.
