Travelling to the Conference Venue


Bus
Bus numbers 20, 21a and 21 start from the station (right next to the Railair buses) and travel to the Whiteknights campus every 10-15 minutes till 7pm (less frequently afterwards). Journey time is 15 minutes, £2.10 (return £4.20). You will need exact change, if paying cash, or you may pay with a contactless card.  The station is the starting and ending point of the buses, so you cannot go in the wrong direction!

These buses take you directly onto the university campus. This map will show you how to walk to HBS from the bus stop: https://goo.gl/maps/gCB1LKsNjhq
 
Taxi

There is no taxi rank on the campus. Taxis must be pre-booked by phone. The University of Reading recommends the following taxi services:

Travelling to Reading
 
By train
Reading is a mainline train station and is easily accessible from most other places in the UK.
 
There are direct rail links from many major cities, including Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Cardiff, Bristol, and Exeter, as well as a number of routes through London.
 
If you are travelling from or via London, the quickest route to take is from London Paddington station. Trains from London Paddington to Reading run approximately every 15-20 minutes throughout the day and the average journey time is around 30 minutes. Trains from Waterloo Station take about an hour.
 
A return ticket during rush hour (peak times) costs about £50. After 09:30 am, a return ticket costs less than £25 (off-peak tickets). Peak times from Reading are 06:00-9:30 am. Peak times from London are 06:00-09:30, and 16:00-18:00.
 
If you travel by Eurostar, you will arrive at St Pancras International, which is across town. We recommend you take a taxi to Paddington station, but the two are also connected by the Tube (you will need to buy a ticket or oyster card).
 
Find out more on the National Rail website.
 
 
By air
 
From Heathrow (LHR)
Heathrow is the closest airport. If coming from Heathrow, the RailAir buses both arrive and depart from Reading Station and take about 45 minutes to Reading. RailAir buses are the most efficient and cost-effective way to get from Heathrow to Reading, and run about every 20 minutes throughout the day. It is cheaper to buy a return trip then two singles. For details see www.railair.com.
 
Alternatively, you can take the Heathrow express to Paddington in Central London, and then take the train to Reading.
 
Do not take a black cab from the airport, it will cost you more than £130!
If you want to travel by taxi from Heathrow to Reading, we recommend pre-booking an airport transfer for about £45. The University of Reading recommends the following taxi services:
Loddon Cars+44 (0) 118 932 1321, https://www.loddoncars.com/services/airport-transfer/
Yellow Cars+44 (0) 118 966 0660, https://yellcars.com/airport-transfers/.
 
 
From Gatwick (LGW)
Visitors flying to London Gatwick (LGW) can take a direct train to Reading, which takes approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. There is one train every hour.
A pre-booked airport transfer costs approximately £80.
 
From Stansted (STN) and Luton (LTN)
Please be aware that there are NO direct connections from Stansted or Luton Airport to Reading. It takes more than 2 hours to get to Reading. You will need to take a bus or train to London (one hour), then need to take another train to Reading. In between you will have to navigate London public transport.
A pre-booked airport transfer from Stansted/Luton costs approximately £120/£80.
 
 
By car
The Whiteknights and London Road campuses in Reading are approximately 1.5 miles from the M4 motorway. Sat Nav users are recommended to use the postcode: RG6 6UR
 
If you driving to the Conference Venue, please be aware that parking campus on campus is limited. Monday to Friday between 8am and 5pm a Pay & Display car park is available to use by visitors (Car Park 1A). The cost will be £1.50 per hour, or £10 for all day parking. The machines accept credit/debit cards for payment. A visitor's parking permit can be pre-arranged by contacting the admin team.
 
COVID Measures

From Thursday, 24 February, the UK government is removing the legal requirements around self-isolation. However, the University of Reading will continue to keep some measures in place to keep its staff and students safe as we navigate living with COVID-19.

As such, if you have any of the three main symptoms of COVID-19 (a new continuous cough, a high temperature or a loss or change to your sense of taste or smell) OR you test positive for COVID-19 through a lateral flow or PCR test, you must avoid our campuses:

  • until you test negative on a lateral flow test OR
  • until your symptoms have gone, up to a period of up to 7 days, if you are not able to access a lateral flow test.

Other control measures the University is retaining:

  • Face coverings: we continue to encourage the wearing of face coverings when in crowded places or when moving around inside buildings, in line with the Living with COVID guidance.
  • Reporting: we ask that you report positive cases to the conference organisers once the conference has begun by emailing the John H Dunning inbox at dunning@henley.ac.uk .
  • Lifts: for the safety of those who face mobility challenges, or those who need to use lifts for their work, lifts should only be used by those who need them and only one person at a time should use lifts.
  • Hand sanitiser stations will remain available across our campuses.
  • Enhanced cleaning regimes will be retained.
  • Enhanced ventilation: we are maintaining increased air flow within our existing mechanical ventilation systems.

The above will be monitored and may change if government measures are alter.
