London Airports

• London HeathrowLink opens in a new window has many more flights, and is about 2 hours away from Coventry either by bus (National ExpressLink opens in a new window) or by rail (via London). The bus option is simpler and cheaper.
• London LutonLink opens in a new window also has various international flights, and is under 2 hours from Coventry by bus (National ExpressLink opens in a new window).
• London GatwickLink opens in a new window is the second largest airport in the UK, offering a variety of international flights, and is 3hrs 30mins from Coventry by bus (National ExpressLink opens in a new window).
• London StanstedLink opens in a new window has various international flights, and is 3hrs 30mins from Coventry by bus (National ExpressLink opens in a new window).

Coventry can also be reached by train from all the London airports listed above. For more information see the National RailLink opens in a new window website.

Note that the University is not in the town of Warwick (which is about 8 miles away), and it is not the same as Coventry University (which is a different university, located in the centre of Coventry). This is important when telling taxi drivers where you want to be.

If you're coming by rail or bus (e.g. National ExpressLink opens in a new window or MegabusLink opens in a new window), you should come to Coventry.
