Getting into Canterbury

The walled city centre is largely pedestrianised, with restricted vehicle access on the main streets. The cathedral, the high street and most of the older colleges and hotels sit inside that area.

The cathedral and the centre

Set-down just outside the walls, a few minutes' walk in.

The universities

Both Kent and Christ Church have their own campus access, easier than the centre.

Canterbury West and East stations

Both have proper set-down areas.

The hotels

Many are inside the walls in listed buildings. Give us the name and we will find the closest practical stopping point.

What tends to affect the time

The Blackwall Tunnel

The main risk on this route.

Operation Brock

When cross-Channel freight backs up, Kent's motorways change layout and journeys slow considerably.

The A2 around Faversham

Busy at peak times.

Summer and cathedral events

The city centre fills from mid-morning in season.

Practical details

Your driver meets you in arrivals with a name board, tracks the inbound flight so delays move the pickup, and the first 60 minutes after landing are included. Add meet and greet when you book if you'd like this; if not, your driver calls you after you land to sort out the pickup point. A saloon suits two with cases; four with luggage want an estate or MPV.
