Coventry Railway Station is well-connected to Birmingham and London. There are frequent trains from Birmingham New Street that take ~20 minutes. In addition, it may be more convenient to travel to Canley Rail Station which is also in walking distance of the University.

### Buses
Coventry Railway Station has frequent buses to campus through the express 12X or the slower 11 (both operated by National Express). These can be caught from the [Rail Station Bridge stop](https://goo.gl/maps/YAqPpQXVXqzpKPz76), just outside the station (try to leave through the new bit). Alternatively, the 11 also stops at [Station Interchange](https://goo.gl/maps/Lu3GGVELEek24b7f8), through the underpass tunnel.

### Arriving by Car

Warwick University is on the south-western edge of Coventry (Postcode: CV4 7AL). There is lots of parking available on campus, although not all of it is publicly accessible. See [this map](https://warwick.ac.uk/services/carparks/where/where_can_i_park_-Jan_2022v2.pdf) and [this website](https://warwick.ac.uk/services/carparks/) for up-to-date information. The car parking rules on campus can be a bit tricky, so be careful.

### Getting Around Campus

Campus is walkable and fully wheelchair accessible. The SU Atrium (where we’ll be) is in central campus and two mins from the Bus Interchange. When navigating around campus, the [Interactive Campus Map](https://campus.warwick.ac.uk/search/623c8897421e6f5928c0d2e2) can be useful.

We would generally then recommend hotels around the city centre, as they are much better connected to the university than some places geographically closer by. However, if you want to be closer (or drive), we have some options:
