Forecasting Symposium - travel and accommodation
Getting to and from the University
London Heathrow has most flights and is probably more convenient than Gatwick. However Birmingham is the nearest airport. There are direct flights to Bimingham from many places and the airport is just a short taxi ride from the University.
- If you are coming from Heathrow or Gatwick there are various ways of getting to Warwick. The simplest and cheapest is a National Express “flight link” coach, which goes to either Coventry or Warwick University. Despite the name of the University, Coventry is actually the nearest. The coach takes about 2 hours, and runs every couple of hours or so. The weblink is:

- The other main alternative is rail. Coventry is the nearest rail station and has good services from London. There are fast and regular rail links from both Gatwick and Heathrow, but these mainly go via Central London. You then need to get a train from there to Coventry (or Warwick/ Leamington Spa). It is then a taxi ride to the University.
