Getting to University Park Campus
- Directions to University Park campus can be found on the Useful Information page.
- The nearest train station to the campus is Beeston. There aren't always taxis outside in the taxi rank, but you can book one through Beeston Cable Cars: +44 (0)115 9229229.
- If you are coming from Nottingham station, there are plenty of black cabs/Hackney cars outside the station. It is around £10 from Nottingham to campus, depending on traffic.
- Alternatively, from Nottingham station you can use the tram, heading towards Toton Lane. Tickets are £2.20 each way and the tram runs every ten minutes or so. The journey to campus takes about ten minutes. Make sure you buy a ticket from the machine before you get on the tram. Use the ‘University Boulevard’ stop (the one after ‘Nottingham University’). This will bring you closest to the West Entrance.
- For airport transfers, we suggest you use DG Cars or Cable Cars.
Checking-in to your Campus Accommodation
- Guests staying in campus accommodation may arrive and check-in from 3pm (closest to the West Entrance on the campus map). Please follow signs to the East Midlands Conference Centre and you will find Rutland Hall and the Orchard Hotel adjacent to this building.
- If you are due to arrive earlier, your keys might be ready, otherwise there will be somewhere for you to leave your bags until you can check-in.

- Just a tip: our campus has many gardens, including a 1930s garden near Lenton Hall, a Chinese garden on Cripps Hill, the Millennium garden to the back of the Orchard’s hotel and a little walled garden between the Trent Building and Highfield House (no. 12 on the campus map). If the weather is nice, these are well worth a visit.
