Travel

Directions to the University can be found on the main University Website at http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/about/visiting/ together with road and campus maps.  The site includes directions by car, coach, train and bus.  The nearest train station to the University is Coventry Station. Please note that the University is in the city of Coventry and not in the town of Warwick!

If you are travelling by air, Birmingham International is the closest major airport to the University. You can travel by train direct from the Airport to Coventry Train Station in around 15 minutes. You might also consider taking a taxi from Birmingham airport. The journey will take approximately 30 minutes and will cost approximately £30.  The following webpage provides more information for participants arriving from outside the UK, http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/international/offerholders/travel/.

Conference delegates are invited to park in the Conference car parks 6, 7 & 8 with overflow, if necessary, in car park 15.  If you are parked in car parks 15 or 7, you will need to collect an exit-code from Rootes Reception in order to leave. Car parking in these conference car-parks is free of charge during the event. Should you use other car-parks charges may apply. Guests staying in Scarman House (50 on the campus map) may use the car park in front of the Scarman building.  All of the University’s car parks are displayed on the campus map. 

If you need any help, please contact Mary Peterson.
