Travel & Accommodation Information for Participants The information on this page is now available for download as a pdf. Travel to the Centre for Mathematical Sciences  General instructions as to how to travel to Cambridge, and the Centre for Mathematical Sciences (CMS) in particular, are available at http://www.cms.cam.ac.uk/visiting/. The University provides a number of maps at http://www.cam.ac.uk/map/, including a location map of the CMS. The CMS is marked with a red circle in the map to the right (click on the map for a larger view); the accommodation at Harvey Court is marked with a red rectangle. Arriving at the Site The CMS may be reached on foot or bicycle either from Clarkson Road or from Madingley Road (which run south and north of the site respectively). Vehicle access to the site is on the east side of Wilberforce Road. The architects had Fort Knox in mind when they designed access to the site, so please note the following.
Note that there are other entrances, but these are access-card protected. The Uni4 and Citi4 bus services stop in Grange Road (close to the junction with Clarkson Road) and in Madingley Road (between Grange Road and Storeys’ Way). These bus stops are marked with a green star on the map; the stops near Harvey Court are also marked. Taxis Taxi drivers are generally familiar with the CMS. We recommend that you ask the driver to take you to Clarkson Road and drop you at the Isaac Newton Institute. Then follow access instructions from Clarkson Road (see above). By Car Parking on site is very limited. Please email TJP-Fest@biofluids.info with any specific requirements. Reception and Dinner on Monday Both the Reception, starting at 19:30 in the Green Room, and the Dinner, starting at 20:00 in the Dining Room, will be held on Monday evening in Old Courts, Gonville and Caius College. There is no dress code for the dinner. There will be signs to the rooms from the Porters' Lodge; a map of Gonville and Caius College is also available (see page 2). If walking to Old Courts from the CMS, proceed backwards from B to A in this map. At the dinner there will be an opportunity for guests to share brief memories of Tim. You might like to think about this in advance (and possibly forewarn one of the organizers). Any stories that you would prefer that a third party retold should be emailed to TJP-Fest@biofluids.info. Accommodation at Harvey Court Bed and breakfast accommodation, for those who have
booked in advance, is at the Stephen Hawking Building (part of Gonville and Caius College), Harvey Court, 5 West Road, Cambridge CB3 9DS (note the West Road site, not the Old Courts site). See the map to the right (CMS is towards the top left of the map), or download a map with directions. The rooms are en-suite, and contain tea and coffee making facilities, spa toiletries, work desk and wireless internet access. More information is available at the College conference website. Arrival All visitors should report to the West Road Porters Lodge at 5 West Road, Cambridge which is staffed 24 hours a day; the telephone number is +44(0)1223 335400. Check in is from 2.30 pm. Breakfast A full English breakfast with continental buffet is included with the accommodation. However, breakfast is served in the Old Courts Dining Room (from 08:00), which is about a 11-minute walk via Garret Hostel Lane (as recommend by Caius), or a 9-minute walk through King's College (as suggested by Google). Directions to the CMS According to Google, the CMS is a 16 minute (or 0.8 mile or 1.3 km) walk from Harvey Court. Walk west down West Road, north up Grange Road, west down Clarkson Road, and then north along the pathway to the east of the Isaac Newton Institute (as illustrated in this map). If you have had breakfast in the Old Courts Dining Room, you might want to walk direct to the CMS. According to Google maps, this is a 19 minute (or 1 mile or 1.5 km) walk. Proceed west, successively down Senate House Passage, Garret Hostel Lane and Burrell's Walk, then north up Grange Road, west down Clarkson Road, and north along the pathway to the east of the Isaac Newton Institute (as illustrated in this map).
