1.6. How to get there
The best way to get there from outside of the UK is to land at Stansted Airport and take a train or bus from the airport to Cambridge. Luton is second closest and the rest of the London Airports will probably mean you will have to commute from central London to Cambridge through King's Cross. Contact aruiz or pbrobinson if you need further details.
