Transport

The Canterbury campus has excellent transport links. We are easily accessible via the motorway network, rail links and local bus services, and we’re just two hours from London airports. Please visit the website for further information.

You can book an airport taxi to Canterbury in advance from the airport you arrive at. This will be a more expensive option than public transport but may be suitable, particularly if you are travelling with others. Some local taxi companies which offer airport transfers are listed below. Please liaise with them directly via their websites. Other companies may be available through Google search. We would suggest you book well in advance as this time of year can be very busy.

Once you’re in town visit our transport website to find out how to travel to and from campus.
