The building complex is really beautiful, the people working there are friendly and helpful, our room was spacious and had a wonderful view, it is very quiet at night, and you can reach the city centre in no time at all. All in all the stay was a great experience!

Warm room in quiet and elegant location. I was able to charge my electric car within a mile of the college.

Arrival information & directions

Address: Grange Road, Cambridge, CambridgeCB3 9DQ, United Kingdom

On arrival, please go to the Porters' Lodge with your booking confirmation where you will be given the key and directions to your room. You may also be asked to provide your ID upon check-in.

Despite the term “Porters”, it is not part of a College Porter’s duties to handle luggage. You will need to carry your own luggage to your room.

Please vacate your room and return the keys to the Porters' Lodge on the day of departure by 9.30am to enable the rooms to be serviced for incoming guests.

Directions:

By Car: The easiest way to approach the College by road from the north, south or east is from Junction 12 of the M11. Take the A603 (Barton Road) towards Cambridge. Pass Wolfson College on the left. About 1.5 miles from the M11 you will reach the traffic lights of a pedestrian crossing. Turn left into Grange Road directly after this pedestrian crossing opposite the Hat and Feathers public house. Continue down Grange Road and go straight over the T junction with Sidgwick Avenue and Selwyn College is immediately on the right-hand side. Parking is not permitted in the Fellows' car park in front of the Porters' Lodge.

Unfortunately, Selwyn College does not offer on-site parking. Free car parking is available on some of the roads surrounding the College. 

By Train: Taxis are available for hire from outside Cambridge railway station and the fare should cost under £10 from the station to the College. Regular buses run from the railway station to the city centre.

By Bus: Take a Citi 4 or Uni 4 bus from Emmanuel Street stop 4 destined for "Madingley" or "Cambourne" to reach West Road and Grange Road with stops close to the College.

By Air: You can travel to Cambridge by rail, coach or taxi. Stansted is the closest major airport about 40 minutes away.
