By coach

National Express run hourly services to and from London and the London airports, as well as serving many other towns and cities.
Coaches terminate at Drummer Street bus station in the city centre. It is a 20-minute walk to Wolfson; so a taxi is probably your best option.
 

By taxi

The bus and rail stations both have adjacent taxi ranks. The fare is £8-10 depending on the flow of traffic around Cambridge. Ask for “Wolfson College, Barton Road entrance”, and they will drop you at the College flagpole.
 

By bus

The Stagecoach 18/18a service leaves Drummer Street bus station and stops at Grantchester Road, Newnham, opposite the front entrance of the College. Although cheaper than a taxi, the bus service is not very frequent.
