How to get to Loughborough

Getting here by rail

Loughborough is on the Midland Main Line, with services running from London (St Pancras) via Leicester to Sheffield, Derby and Nottingham. The railway station is about 3 km from the campus. A frequent bus service (Kinch number 7) runs from the station through the town centre to the campus. Get off at the Computer Centre; the EHB is the building with a curved canopy you can see ahead to the left across a car park.

Getting here by car

The University is at the western end of the town, near junction 23 of the M1. Follow the signs to the University and stop at the gatehouse, where you will be given a Visitor's Permit.

Getting here by air

The Air-line Shuttle bus runs hourly from Nottingham East Midlands Airport to Loughborough town centre and railway station.

We look forward to meeting you in Loughborough.
