By rail
Edinburgh has excellent rail links throughout the UK.
The East Coast mainline, which links Edinburgh and London King’s Cross, is the UK's fastest intercity railway: you can travel between the cities in just over 4 hours.
Or, if you prefer to travel overnight, a sleeper service runs between London Euston and Edinburgh Waverley 6 nights a week.
There are great links to other cities too. The journey to Glasgow only takes 45 minutes, while York, Newcastle, Inverness and Aberdeen can all be reached easily.
All trains arrive at Waverley Station in the centre of the city which is a 15 minute walk to the venue.
By bus
If you are travelling on a budget, buses are often your best bet. Edinburgh is well placed on the Scottish motorway network so getting here is easy with regular bus services from all major UK cities.
Buses and coaches arrive at St Andrews Square bus station in Edinburgh's city centre which is a 20 minute walk from the venue.
