Getting to Cambridge and finding accommodation
General information on travelling to Cambridge is provided by the University here.
For planning your stay in Cambridge, we recommend you check the following websites:

- http://www.cambridgerooms.co.uk/
- http://www.cambridgerooms.co.uk/
- http://www.cambridgebedandbreakfasts.com/
Some of these websites also list College rooms which are particularly convenient if centrally located — many of these may be booked out because of Term time.
For possibly cheaper alternatives, e.g. hostels, we recommend the following website.
Be aware that some of the places listed on these websites might be out of walking distance from King's College, e.g. Girton and Cherry Hinton. Anything inside the green circle on the map below is within approximately 30 minutes walking distance.
