Travel
General instructions as to how to travel to the CMS are available at http://www.cms.cam.ac.uk/visiting/. The CMS is
marked with a red circle on the map overleaf; the accommodation at Harvey Court is marked with a red rectangle.
Arriving at the Site. The CMS is located on Wilberforce Road (off Madingley Road). The Centre may also be reached
on foot or bicycle from Clarkson Road (off Grange Road), or from Madingley Road. The architects had Fort Knox
in mind when they designed access to the site, so please note the following.
From Clarkson Road: follow the pathway to the east of the Isaac Newton Institute, turn left at the Gatehouse
and the CMS main building (where the CMS Reception is located) is 50m in front of you.
From Madingley Road: follow the pathway southward and turn right at the Gatehouse.
From the Wilberforce Road Entrance, follow the signs for CMS Reception.
There are other entrances, but these are access-card protected.
Bus Services. The Uni4 and Citi4 bus services stop in Grange Road (close to the junction with Clarkson Road) and
in Madingley Road (between Grange Road and Storeys’ Way). These bus stops are marked with a green star on
the map; the stops near Harvey Court are also marked.
Taxis. Taxi drivers are generally familiar with the CMS. We recommend that you ask the driver to take you to
Clarkson Road and drop you at the Isaac Newton Institute. Then follow access instructions from Clarkson Road
(see above). If taking a taxi to Harvey Court make sure that you specify Harvey Court.1
By Car. Parking on site is very limited. Please email [email protected] with any specific requirements.
Reception and Dinner on Monday
Both the Reception, starting at 19:30 in the Green Room, and the Dinner, starting at 20:00 in the Dining Room, will
be held on Monday evening in Old Courts, Gonville and Caius College. There is no dress code for the dinner. There
1 If you request Gonville and Caius College then you may end up in the middle of town, which is not where you want to be.
will be signs to the rooms from the Porters' Lodge (there is a map of Gonville and Caius College at the end of this
document). If walking to Old Courts from the CMS, proceed backwards from B to A in the fourth map below.
The CMS and Harvey Court
At the dinner there will be an opportunity for guests to share brief memories of Tim. You might like to think about this
in advance (and possibly forewarn one of the organizers). Any stories that you would prefer that a third party retold
should be emailed to [email protected].

Caius College at the end of this document).
