Getting to and from Newnham

The College’s postcode is CB3 9DF. Sidgwick Avenue is just off the A603 and approximately 2 miles from Junction 12 on the M11.
Please note that Silver Street is closed to cars for part of the day, and has a ‘tidal flow’ system for the rest. At most times it will be easier, when approaching the College from the southern part of Cambridge, to use Fen Causeway.

All vehicles are left at owner’s risk. There is pay-and-display parking on Sidgwick Avenue, Ridley Hall Road & Newnham Walk.
