Cambridge is around 50 minutes by train from London King’s Cross station using the non-stop ‘Cambridge Express’ service (which runs twice an hour). Trains from London Liverpool Street station take slightly longer. If you are coming from the North, it is advisable to change at Peterborough. The Eurostar service from Paris takes just over two hours and arrives into central London at St Pancras International station, which is just across the road from King’s Cross and the direct train service to Cambridge. The West Road Concert Hall is a 10-15 minute taxi ride from the rail station and taxis can be found outside the station entrance.
