By Car
Entering Cambridge via the A1307 will bring you right past the building: just head towards the Hospital.
If you are approaching Cambridge on the M11 then you should leave the motorway at junction 11. The Addenbrooke's access road is almost immediately on your right. Taking this road will bring you directly onto the Addenbrooke's campus. At the second roundabout after you cross the railway line turn right to join Robinson Way. Follow this road around to the main entrance roundabout (with flagpole). The LMB is straight over the roundabout and on your left. It is the building with the spiral staircase on the end of it, the large curved building on legs is the Max Perutz Lecture Theatre. The entrance to reception is at the top of the steps, disabled and pre-arranged visitors should drive down the slope to the right of the lecture theatre and use the intercom. Reception will arrange for access to the lift at the rear of the lecture theatre and visitor parking spaces.
