The
Wellcome Trust Genome Campus is located 10 miles/25 minutes
drive south of central Cambridge close to the M11 motorway
and the main train lines linking London to Cambridge.
However note that taxis to Hinxton tend to be expensive
- more economical public transportation to Hinxton from
major airports or London requires a multi-part journey
involving tube/train or bus and then bus or taxi.

9 and take the A1301 towards Cambridge. From the Stumps
Cross roundabout system take the first left (about 800m).
