The University of Warwick is conveniently located for travel via Birmingham International Airport
(BHX). A car or taxi journey between the airport and the university should take approximately half
an hour, and a train service also operates between the airport and Coventry. Should visitors wish to
arrive at Heathrow Airport (LHR) or Gatwick Airport (LGW) instead, Coventry is also served by train
services from London.
